Description
Summary:There are many reasons for an implant malposition. Besides knowlege about prevention of implant dislocation, accurate planning of the osteosynthesis, extensive knowlege of the anatomy of the region in question, using all necessary diagnostic tools, choosing the correct approach and the best implant for fracture fixation are also important factors. Nevertheless, implant complications can still be found and if an intraoperative or postoperative implant dislocation occurs a suitable management is necessary. This article describes the different osteosynthesis implants and possible malpositions and dislocations. Tips and tricks are described in order to facilitate the correct indications for the further procedure.
