  A broken femur/thigh bone is a serious injury. Depending on the severity and location of the break, different treatment options exist. One common surgical procedure for a fractured femur is the insertion of an orthopedic implant known as an antegrade femoral nail (AFN). An antegrade femoral nail is a metal rod inserted lengthwise into the hollow canal of the femur. This stabilizes the broken bone fragments and promotes healing. Let's delve deeper into what an AFN is, when it's used, and what the procedure includes.

What if you need a knee or hip replacement but traditional implants are not the right fit for you? This is a tricky condition but continuous advancements and innovations in the orthopedic industry have found the solution for such cases. These situations might not be common but they are not rare either. Orthopedic implants have revolutionized orthopedic care but they aren't a one-size-fits-all solution. This is where patient-specific implants come in. They offer a more personalized approach to healing. In this blog, we will have a quick look at them.

  The 2024 BOA Annual Congress will be taking place on September 17th-20th at the ICC, Birmingham. The congress will focus on the theme “Recruit, Sustain, Retain: The T&O Workforce.” This theme delves into the critical challenges of attracting, developing, and retaining talented professionals within the field of trauma and orthopedics (T&O). The British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) stands as a leading organization for orthopaedic surgeons and healthcare professionals in the UK. Their premier event, the BOA Annual Congress in UK, is a must-attend for anyone involved in the field of musculoskeletal health and orthopedic implants system manufacturing. This prestigious gathering provides a unique platform for learning, collaboration, and staying at the forefront of orthopedic advancements.

The World Orthopedics Conference will take place from 9-11 September 2024 in Madrid, Spain. Ortho 2024 will provide an excellent platform for orthopedic experts from across the globe to meet and discuss recent advancements in the industry. This will be a hybrid event that will take place as virtual as well as in person. The event will connect orthopedic experts from different parts of the world and share knowledge.

  Imagine a broken bone held in place by a series of metal rings, pins, and rods, all working together to promote healing and correcting deformities. This is the essence of the ring external fixator system , a remarkable tool used in orthopedics to manage a variety of bone and joint conditions. This system is slightly different from other orthopedic implants. Besides this, it requires special training to apply this system correctly. Well, in this post, we will see in detail what a ring external fixator system is and its uses.

Fractures in children can be scary. They are surprisingly common and, in most cases, heal well with proper care. While a broken bone sounds scary, the good news is that children's bones heal much faster than adults. With proper care and a little patience, your little adventurer will be back to running and jumping in no time. Sometimes, trauma implants like Locking Bone Plates are also required to stabilize bones. But how do you navigate these fractures? This guide will equip you with the knowledge to manage your child's fracture effectively. What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Fractures in Children? The signs of a fracture can vary depending on the location and severity of the break. Here are some of the common symptoms: Pain: This is the most obvious symptom. Your child will likely experience pain at the injury site, which may worsen with movement. Swelling: The area around the fracture will likely become swollen due to inflammation. Deformity: In some cases, the broken bon...

  The collarbone, also known as the clavicle, is that prominent bone we can feel at the top of our chest. While it might seem delicate, it plays a crucial role in supporting the shoulder and allowing for a wide range of arm movements. But like any bone, it is also susceptible to breaks. A fall, a forceful blow, or even a direct hit can lead to a collarbone fracture. Severe fractures may demand surgical intervention. This guide delves into the world of broken collarbones, equipping you with the knowledge to navigate this common injury. We’ll explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and recovery tips of Collarbone Fracture to get you back on track.

  Fractures or broken bones are a common consequence of injuries. While most heal with proper medical attention, ignoring a break can lead to serious complications down the road. Not only simple, but sometimes people do ignore severe breaks that require the application of locking bone plates, screws, and other trauma devices. In this post, we will have a look at some of the issues that might arise because of an untreated fracture .

  The  femur is the body’s longest and strongest bone. It is also known as the thigh bone. This bone is important for weight-bearing and movement. A break in the femur, specifically in the long, straight section between the hip and knee, is called a femoral shaft fracture . These fractures are often serious injuries and require immediate medical attention. This blog will talk about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of femoral shaft fractures.

  Imagine a material strong enough to support your weight, light enough not to weigh you down, and gentle enough to coexist peacefully within your body for decades. That's the magic of titanium. The most-preferred metal when it comes to fabricating orthopaedic trauma implants. But what exactly makes this metal so special? In this post, we will have a look at why titanium preferred for manufacturing orthopedic implants ?

  Traditional bone plates and screws are being used for decades by orthopedic surgeons to fix hand fractures. Earlier, there were alternatives to these traditional implants and despite having some limitations during various procedures, surgeons were forced to use them. Well, the continuous advancement in the industry brought us locking hand plates. These locking hand plates have revolutionized hand fracture treatment. These plates offer significant advantages for both surgeons and patients when compared to traditional ones. Let us see how they have helped improve hand fracture treatment.

  Pilon fracture is a break in the lower leg bone near the ankle joint. It is a debilitating condition that requires timely treatment. While the initial treatment focuses on setting the bones using ankle locking plate, the true challenge lies in the long-term rehabilitation process. This journey requires dedication, patience, and a strong support system to regain mobility and function. Here, we will have a look at how rehabilitation and care occur for the healing of these fractures.

  Fractures are a common occurrence in our lives. Irrespective of age, anyone can get a fracture. However, the reasons vary depending on the age and overall health status. When a fracture occurs, particularly in long bones like the femur or tibia, stabilizing the broken pieces becomes crucial for proper healing. Although, it is important to bring back the limb in motion and relieve painful symptoms. This is where intramedullary nail comes in. These nails act as internal splints, offering stability and support for a fractured bone to mend. Whereas, the process of applying these IM nails surgically is known as intramedullary fixation. This blog will discuss the implant as well as the procedure. Let us start with a brief introduction to intramedullary fixation .

  The lower back is a complex structure that bears a significant amount of weight and facilitates movement. Discomfort in this area is quite common, and one potential issue is lumbar disc prolapse , also known as herniated disc. Severe cases require the application of Spinal Orthopaedic Trauma Implants. Here, we will delve into what this condition is along with its causes, symptoms, and treatment options.
