Scaphoid Fracture Fixation with an Acutrak® Screw
We report a case of fixation of a scaphoid fracture using an Acutrak(®) screw. This screw is cannulated and headless, which allows it to be implanted below the surface of the bone. It uses the same concept of variable thread pitch as the Herbert screw, but unlike the Herbert screw, is fully threaded, with continuously varying pitch along its length. This variable pitch creates constant compress...
متن کاملThe Importance of Screw Design in Scaphoid Fracture Fixation
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of gender, screw design, and the approach on maximal screw length in scaphoid fracture fixation. Measurements were performed on 3D reconstructions of 20 CT scans of normal scaphoids. A comparison was made between 15 different available screw designs and between volar and dorsal screw placement. The length of the scaphoid along its central...
متن کاملScaphoid fracture: functional outcome following fixation with Herbert Screw.
BACKGROUND Most scaphoid fractures though heal uneventfully with cast treatment, immobilization with cast is associated with complication like wrist stiffness. Open reduction and fixation with Herbert Screw though technically demanding procedure can yield excellent results and prevents complication like nonunions and loss of wrist function. OBJECTIVES To assess clinical outcome and radiologic...
متن کاملTrans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation: 'notjust a scaphoid fracture'.
Rowan CH, Downing ND. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-221041 Description Perilunate dislocations are uncommon high-energy injuries which are missed in approximately 25% of cases on initial presentation. We present the X-rays of a 25-year-old man who fell from a height of approximately 2 metres onto an extended wrist. Plain radiographs (figure 1) show classical signs of a trans-scaphoid ...
متن کاملIntrapelvic Protrusion of a Broken Guide Wire Fragment during Fixation of a Femoral Neck Fracture
Breakage of DHS guide wire during surgery and its migration into the pelvis through the hip joint is a rare complication and its removal can be very challenging for the surgeon. We share our experience of a similar case wherein we used an ‘iliofemoral’ approach to successfully remove the broken transfixing guidewire from the hip joint. Although iliofemoral approach is similar to the lateral win...
