Key Research & Publications
One-year minimum follow-up results demonstrating excellent outcomes using the Tension Slide Technique for distal biceps tendon repair. This study evaluated functional outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction.
Randomised prospective study comparing outcomes between open reduction internal fixation and limited internal fixation with external fixation for complex pilon fractures. Results showed comparable outcomes with reduced soft tissue complications in the limited fixation group.
Novel surgical approaches for ankle reconstruction in patients with fibular hemimelia. This study presented innovative techniques for preserving ankle function and improving long-term outcomes in this challenging condition.
Comprehensive review of bone transport techniques and external fixation methods for the management of complex fractures and non-unions. Included analysis of outcomes, complications, and technical considerations.
