Percutaneous Fixation of Comminuted Fractures of the Femur and Tibia
Objective: To present initial experience of treating patients with comminuted fractures of the diaphyseal and metaphyseal areas of the femur and tibia. Subjects and Methods: Sixteen patients were involved in the study. All the16 patients (11 males and 5 females, average age 34 years) with closed, comminuted fractures of femur (n = 9) and tibia (n = 7) were operated on using the principle of min...
متن کاملDISPLACED- COMMINUTED INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE ADULT DISTAL HUMERUS: FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER INTERNAL FIXATION
Background: Intra-articular T- type or Y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. The current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. Methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, we r...

متن کاملAcutrak fixation of comminuted distal radial fractures.
The authors describe a new technique of fixation of comminuted displaced distal radial fractures in young adults. A 40-year-old man fell from a ladder and injured his wrist. He sustained a comminuted fracture of the distal radius. The fracture was opened through a volar incision and the three rotated, unreduced fragments were reduced and fixed with three Acutrak (Acumed Inc., Beaverton, OR, USA...
متن کاملImmediate weight bearing of comminuted supracondylar femur fractures using locked plate fixation.
Comminuted supracondylar femur fractures (AO-OTA 33A3) are commonly treated with locked plates. Weight bearing is generally restricted for 6 to 12 weeks until radiologic evidence exists of sufficient callous to support weight bearing. Recent clinical studies have reported high nonunion rates with distal femur locked plates. In an attempt to induce beneficial motion across the fracture site, som...
