1.	Infections 03/01/2017 - "PubMed database of the National Library of Medicine was searched for clinical studies on antimicrobial coated implants for internal fracture fixation devices and endoprostheses for bone surgery, for which study design, level of evidence, biocompatibility, development of resistance, and effectiveness to reduce infection rates were analyzed. " 10/01/2015 - "In conclusion, the risk of low-grade shoulder infection after fracture osteosynthesis may be higher than in hip and knee joints, based on limited study data. " 10/01/2021 - "The infection rate after fracture osteosynthesis depends on many factors. " 01/01/2020 - "Results: Seven articles involving 1307 patients (561 with coated implants and 746 controls who were not) comparing the incidence of periprosthetic infections after the application of internal fracture fixation, total arthroplasties and endoprostheses were evaluated. " 05/01/2019 - "We herein used hospital chart data from patients treated for infections of total joint arthroplasties or internal fracture fixation devices at three academic referral institutions. "
2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 11/12/2022 - "To investigate the clinical efficacy of accelerated rehabilitation surgery for the treatment of Gustilo type IIIA/B open tibiofibular fracture with emergency stage I debridement, internal fracture fixation, bone grafting, coverage of the wound surface with a muscle flap combined with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD), and internal and lateral leg reduction. " 01/01/2022 - "KUR-113 was administered at the fracture site after internal fracture fixation and before wound closure. " 03/01/2018 - "In the herein paper the general principles of sacral fracture osteosynthesis are discussed, as well as its application to spinopelvic injuries. " 11/01/2014 - "The quality of evidence was rated "low." In trauma patients with open or closed femur fractures, we suggest early (<24 hours) open reduction and internal fracture fixation. " 04/01/2013 - "A male patient with a history of chronic renal failure on hemodialysis and hip fracture osteosynthesis was admitted to hospital for persistent febrile syndrome following the displacement of the prosthesis by trauma. "
3.	Femoral Neck Fractures 01/01/2021 - "Selected search terms included "basicervical," "basi cervical," "AO/OTA type 31-B," "femoral neck fracture" AND "bone nails," "bone screws," "fracture fixation," "internal fixation," "arthroplasty," "cephalomedullary," "sliding hip screw," "ORIF," and "treatment outcome." We included studies that assessed outcomes of basicervical fracture fixation using open reduction internal fixation or arthroplasty. " 01/01/1981 - "[Treatment of femoral neck fractures by double internal fracture fixation]."
4.	Pain (Aches) 09/01/2018 - "Published results of human trials did not show strong evidence that NDAIDs for pain therapy after fracture osteosynthesis or spinal fusion lead to an increased nonunion rate. "
5.	Distal Femoral Fractures 11/01/2019 - "The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of conducting a full-scale, appropriately powered, randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing internal fracture fixation and distal femoral replacement (DFR) for distal femoral fractures in older patients.
