BIOMECHANICAL EVALUATION OF 2.7 MM VERSUS 3.5 MM PLATING CONSTRUCTS FOR AO/OTA TYPE B CLAVICLE FRACTURES (LEVEL 5)

Mohammad M. Alzahrani, Adam Cota, Khalid Alkhelaifi, Edward J. Harvey

Background Open reduction and internal fixation using plate osteosynthesis for midshaft clavicle fractures is often associated with hardware prominance. Although clinical studies have suggested a role for the use of thinner 2.7mm plates as a means of increasing cosmetic acceptability this still …

Anatomic Single‐Incision Repair of Distal Biceps Tendon Ruptures Using Flexible Reamers

Jimmy Tat, Adam Hart, Adam Cota, Khalid Alsheikh et autres

Distal biceps tendon ruptures are treated operatively in active healthy individuals. Treatment consists of either single- or double-incision techniques, each with its own set of advantages and complications. The double incision was traditionally preferred for a more anatomic reattachment of the distal …
