1.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 02/01/2002 - "CONCLUSION: Our data show that early femur fracture fixation (< 24 hours) is associated with an improved outcome, even in patients with coexistent head and/or chest trauma. " 01/01/2003 - "Fracture fixation of severe injuries was associated with a high rate of re-operation in one trial, comparing tension-band wiring fixation with hemi-arthroplasty. " 01/01/2002 - "Fracture fixation of severe injuries was associated with a high rate of re-operation in one trial, comparing tension-band wiring fixation with hemi-arthroplasty. " 01/01/2001 - "Fracture fixation of severe injuries was associated with a high rate of re-operation in one trial, comparing tension-band wiring fixation with hemi-arthroplasty. " 04/01/1995 - "MATERIALS AND METHODS: During the clinical investigation portion of this study, we photographed lower extremity injuries, both soft tissue and radiographs, and performed a detailed surgical exploration during the debridement of open wounds or fracture fixation to treat them appropriately and to define the mechanism of injury, the fracture pattern, the pattern of soft-tissue insult, and the extent of periosteal stripping.

2.	Femoral Fractures (Femoral Fracture) 04/01/1997 - "RESULTS: The complications associated with total hip replacement in patients with previous proximal femoral fracture fixation occurred more frequently than in patients who had not had undergone previous fracture fixation; in addition, intraoperative surgical difficulty was significantly greater in those patients who had undergone previous surgery for hip fracture. " 05/01/2008 - "We report two cases in which the technique of fracture fixation using the Less Invasive Stabilisation System (LISS) has been successfully used in the management of distal femoral fractures in the child." 06/01/2005 - "We evaluated the influence of fracture fixation stability and fracture environment on mechanical properties in healing femoral fractures in rats. " 03/01/1998 - "This in-vitro model provides a reproductable method for the initiation and propagation of longitudinal femoral fractures in press-fit noncemented THA system and to assess the effect of fracture fixation in the form of cerclage wiring." 12/01/1995 - "Prompt surgical repair, arterial as well as venous repair for popliteal and femoral injuries especially if femoral fracture is present, external skeletal fixation and/or traction, and fasciotomy when necessary led to improved limb salvage."

3.	Infection 09/01/1998 - "The results suggest that antiseptic-coated fracture-fixation devices provide significant local protection against Staphylococcus aureus, which is the most common cause of infections related to orthopaedic devices." 03/01/2010 - "Although direct extrapolation from animal studies to the clinical setting is difficult, close consideration of the design factors that can reduce the incidence of infection in animal models is expected to help minimise the incidence of infection associated with any clinically implemented fracture fixation device." 01/01/2009 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the infection rate following ankle fracture fixation and elucidate variables in their causation. " 02/01/1996 - "Our study compares the infection rates and some infection parameters between metallic (2073 patients) and absorbable fracture fixation devices (1012 patients) in displaced ankle fractures. " 03/01/2010 - "Much research and development has been focussed on ways to further reduce the incidence of infection and in the following short review we describe our experiences investigating the contribution of the basic design of fracture fixation devices on the susceptibility to infection.

4.	Osteoporosis 01/01/1987 - "On the basis of data obtained from animal experiments in vivo and mechanical tests in vitro, we conclude that the cushion is effective in preventing osteoporosis without decreasing the strength of fracture fixation. " 06/01/2008 - "The goal of our systematic literature search was to find out whether the experimentally proven influence of osteoporosis on fracture fixation could be confirmed in clinical studies. " 06/01/2008 - "The goal of our systematic literature search was to prove whether the experimentally shown influence of osteoporosis on fracture fixation could be confirmed in clinical studies. " 06/01/2008 - "METHODS: A systematic electronic database search was performed identifying articles that evaluated complications after fracture fixation among patients suspected of having osteoporosis as measured by BMD or surrogates including Singh index or risk factors.

5.	Hip Fractures (Intertrochanteric Fractures) 03/01/1998 - "New high strength cements that are susceptible to remodeling and replacement for fracture fixation may lead to improved clinical outcome in the treatment of hip fractures. " 01/01/2002 - "The other study, involving 39 patients, comparing the PFN with the dynamic condylar plate for treating more distal and uncommon trochanteric fractures gave better intra-operative and fracture fixation results for the PFN. " 11/01/2005 - "We conclude that the PCCP device offers several advantages over CHS device and may improve the current treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures while maintaining a similar success rate in fracture fixation." 08/01/1995 - "OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of the timing of fracture fixation and the physiologic status on admission of elderly patients with hip fractures from low impact falls on resource utilization and outcome. " 04/01/1994 - "We consider that the intramedullary interlocking nail conforms to the principle of human biomechanics and it may be used as an effective surgical treatment with the fracture fixation of superior strength and stability for every type of femoral trochanteric fractures."
