Q

If we use steinmann’s nail to treat bone fracture, what percentage of the intramedullary canal it should be filled in (round up one correct answer):

A

70%

25
Q

What is tightening screw (“lag screw”) and describe the technique of its application

A

A lag screw is used to compress fracture fragments ; provides compression across a fracture by use of a gliding hole in the proximal fragment so tightening the screw draws the distal fragment towards the screw head
- Are usually used for the fixation of simple fractures such as a spiral or oblique fracture but they can also be used under specific circumstances to compress large fracture fragments of a multifragmentary fracture
- Must be placed perpendicular to the plane of the fracture line
- There are two screw types : cancellous bone screw and the cortical screw

26
Q

The Ilizarov frame is also called

A

external fixator

A

30-40

28
Q

describe interlocking nail

A

Metallic implants used for the repair of traumatic long bone fractures (effective against rotation, bending, compression and shear)

29
Q

Name three types of external fixation:

A
  • Linear fixators
  • Ring fixators
  • Intramedullary pins
30
Q

What are the qualities of reconstructive plates?

A
  • Effective for nearly all forces; bending, rotation, shear, compression and tension
31
Q

Avulsion fractures occur due to traction forces _______ the bones

A

origin / insertion of a tendon or
