3.	Pain (Aches) 08/01/1992 - "At follow-up (mean of 56 months for the AO Internal Fixator and 42 months for Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation), the average curve correction was better than 50% Overall satisfactory clinical results with pain relief and improved walking distance were noted in 86% of the patients" 12/01/2007 - "The internal fixator attachment was performed on 5 patients 6-13 months after operation, who had a serious pain in the lateral part of the distal femur" 08/01/1988 - "The immediate or early application of stable external devices, internal fixation, or combinations of the two along with early bone grafting restores the structural integrity of the skeleton, reduces pain, protects other repaired and reconstructed tissues, promotes the healing, and supports early and intensive functional rehabilitation of the hand and wrist" 05/29/2007 - "A less invasive stabilisation system and bone cement decreased both patient pain and the fracture risk of brown tumor lesion sites of the shinbone; and internal fixator including laminectomy at the lumbar spine ended radicular symptoms" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...

5.	Femoral Neck Fractures 09/01/1991 - "Even though valgus osteotomy and internal fixation fill a gap in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in adults by yielding good results with a conservative method, they are very demanding surgical procedures, requiring anatomical reduction, atraumatic technique, precise calculation of the valgus angle, and precise placement of the internal fixation device." 11/01/1982 - "Two hundred ninety patients with femoral neck fractures of the Garden Type III or IV were treated during the years 1965 through 1978 using one of four types of internal fixation devices" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
