Maxillofacial Region
This area encompasses the jaws, cheekbones, and orbits. Trauma often requires complex reconstruction using miniplates, screws, and custom implants.
Vertebral Column (Spine)
Spinal fusion and stabilization procedures often use implants like pedicle screws, rods, and interbody cages to treat instability, fractures, or degenerative diseases.
Humerus Bone
Commonly fractured at the surgical neck or mid-shaft. Fixation is achieved with intramedullary nails, plates, and screws. Shoulder arthroplasty implants are used for severe proximal fractures.
Radius & Ulna
Forearm fractures often involve both bones. Anatomical reduction is critical and typically requires plate and screw fixation. Distal radius fractures are frequently treated with volar locking plates.
Femur Bone
As the body's strongest bone, femur fractures require significant force. Intramedullary nailing is the standard treatment for shaft fractures. Hip hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement is common for femoral neck fractures in the elderly.
Tibia & Fibula
The tibia is the primary weight-bearing bone. Tibial shaft fractures are often treated with intramedullary nails. Ankle fractures frequently involve the fibula and are fixed with plates and screws.
