Comparing hand strength and quality life of locking plate versus intramedullary k wire for transverse midshaft metacarpal fractures
Aim In the scientific literature there are no papers that clarify which method of surgical fixation in transverse metacarpal fractures has the best functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare the hand strength obtained using two different methods in the treatment of these fractures.Methods A total of 52 patients who presented a transv...

Surgical treatment of multifragmentary segmental femur shaft fractures with ORIF and bone graft versus MIPO: a prospective control-group study
Aim Multifragmentary segmental femoral shaft fracture is a high energy injury frequently associated with life-threatening conditions. The aim of this study was to compare the use of bio metallic open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) (plate with allograft bone strut) with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) fixation for the treatment of...
