Open release of the carpal tunnel

Comminuted proximal and distal femur fractures are amenable to plate fixation. However, complication rates are high when anatomic reconstruction has been achieved. Bone grafting can further devascularize the bone. A solution to the problem is ''biological'' fixation which incorporates indirect reduction and bridging osteosynthesis. By using radiographs, animation and explanatory film sequences, the video provides a precise description of the technique of ''biological'' fixation and a step-by-step review of this atraumatic procedure.
