Plating of distal tibial fractures offers some risk of soft tissue problems. Even the recently developed fixed-angle plates need great care in handling the soft tissue and may fail due to their smaller dimension. On the other hand, conventional plates still are a suitable tool for stabilization of such fractures. In case of fractures of both the tibia and fibula, stabilization of the latter is recommended as well.

Vermei-Abstract Fractures of the distal radius are most common in adults. Insufficient results following conservative treatment lead to a change of paradigm: during the mid-nineties of the last century the operative procedures like percutaneous K-wiring, external fixation systems and plating with conventional 3.5 mm plate systems became extended by the invention of plate systems with head locking screws, angular stable plate systems. Meanwhile the results after palmar plating with systems in a dimension of 2.4– 3.5 mm of even extension fractures of the distal radius are so encouraging that this treatment has become a standard procedure. Only wide displaced fractures type C2 or C3 sometimes need to be addressed from dorsally. The results of 244 extension fractures of the distal radius using palmar approach in plating with three different plate systems are presented. Fracture type and patients data were comparable in all 3 groups. The functional outcome of regular vs. 3.5 mm plates with headlocking screws (LCP) showed similar results. The best outcome with statistical relevance could be created by the use of the 2.4/2.7 mm plate system (Synthes ® ). Some technical hints have to be regarded to obtain good radiological and functional results: the head locking screws in the distal fragment have to be placed subchondrally and the tips of these screws may not overtop the dorsal cortex. Thus complications like irritation of extension tendons, additional bone grafting even in osteoporotic bone or loss of reduction postoperatively become very rare. Functional treatment postoperatively reduced the rate of reflex sympathic dystrophy syndrome dramatically.

New implants and fixation concepts – extramedullary and intra-medullary – have been recently developed for the treatment of distal femoral fractures. The Distal Femoral Nail (DFN) features a spiral blade interlocking option that provides angular stability and enlarges the contact area between bone and implant in the metaphysis. Advantages of the DFN are a minimal invasive approach that also allows fixation of ipsilateral femur and tibia fractures and its easy use in obese patients. In comparison with the Less Invasive Stabilisation System (LISS) the DFN shows equal or better results concerning non union, infection, alignement, implant failure and knee function.

In the age of outstanding internal implants and techniques for operative treatment of extra-articular proximal tibial fractures the usefulness of the external fixator (e.f.) has to be called into question. Substantial advantages of e.f. especially in this location are excellent protection of soft tissues, easy enlargement to adjacent joints and supplementary stabilization of metaphyseal comminuted fractures.

. Abstract In addition to the conventional stabilisation procedures, new trends with reduced operation trauma achieve acceptance concerning the treatment of supra-and interkondylar (C)fractures of the distal femur. Retrograde intramedullary nailing techniques provide advantages in regard to centre line of weight bearing, bone loss of the distal metaphysis and the periosseous blood supply. By the development of a new retrograde nail with diagonal intersecting distal interlocking bolts the indication spectra is extended. Anatomical examinations, implantations in cadaver femora and three-dimensional CT computer simulations were used to optimise the nail features and to reduce implantation failures.

The treatment of proximal humerus fractures with intramedullary nails with angle stable bolts is contradictory to the classic intramedullary nailing with elastic nails. However in osteoporotic bone stock these nails allow a multi dimensional bracing of the fragments with the locking bolts leading to sufficient primary stability even in complex cases. The minimal invasive implantation technique reduces the soft tissue damage to a minimum and permits early rehabilitation especially in elderly patients.
