Johnson & Johnson (J&J) MedTech has launched two new plating systems for distal radius (wrist) and proximal humerus fractures for its Variable Angle Optimised Locking Technology (VOLT) plating system ...

An avulsion fracture happens when a tendon or ligament pulls a small fragment of bone from the main bone. These fractures usually occur near joints, such as in the fingers, hips, feet, and ankles.

A new biocompatible polymer-based composite material could soon replace metal plates in treating difficult and unstable fractures. The newly-developed material is as strong as dental composites yet ...
