A second plate is selected to be placed perpendicular to the first plate, usually superiorly. The plate is then fixed to the scapula (Figure 9). 8. The fracture is fixed provisionally with a K-wire.

The nasal pyramid can be further divided into first, second, and third planes. 3,5 Overall, with lateral impact, fractures will extend to the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone but not the ...

A comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces A transverse fracture is when the fracture line is perpendicular to the shaft (long part) of the bone.

Sometimes all it takes to break a bone is a step in the wrong direction or, more specifically, a force applied in the same direction as the line-up of the nano-size collagen fibers that give bone ...

This superior plate was augmented with a 3.5-mm reconstruction plate (Stryker) placed perpendicular over the posterior and lateral acromion.
