Fixation of the greater tuberosity in proximal humeral fractures: FiberWire® or wire cerclage?
Proximal humeral fractures remain a surgical challenge, and scientific discussions are commonly focused on their ideal treatment. One possible treatment involves the use of an angle stable plate osteosynthesis. However, which material can most feasibly be used to attach the greater tuberosity to the implant remains unknown. In two prospective, non-randomized trials, we compared the results of a...
متن کاملAvulsion fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity: diagnosis and treatment.
Avulsion calcaneal tuberosity fracture is an uncommon but potentially serious condition, with delays in treatment sometimes leading to long-term pain, disability and functional limitation. In this article, the authors refer to a case study of a patient with a fractured calcaneal tuberosity and multiple metatarsal fractures. They also discuss the results of a literature review of fracture patter...
متن کاملAvulsion Fracture of the Calcaneal Tuberosity: Classification and Its Characteristics
BACKGROUND Not much is known regarding avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity. We propose a modified classification scheme that presents the four types of calcaneal avulsion fracture as described by surgical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and evaluation of their specific features. METHODS Out of 764 cases of calcaneal fractures, we examined 20 cases (2.6%) that involve...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for Calcaneal Avulsion Fracture: A Case Report
Avulsion fractures of the calcaneal tuberosity constitute only a small percentage of calcaneal fractures. Avulsion fractures often occur in elderly women with osteoporosis. Various surgical methods are used in the treatment of this type of fracture. These include tension band wiring, suture anchor fixation, lag screw fixation, and TightRope® technique. In order to manage these fractures effecti...
متن کاملDual Fixation of Calcaneal Tuberosity Avulsion with Concomitant Achilles Tendon Rupture: A Novel Hybrid Technique
Fracture of the calcaneal tuberosity with a concomitant Achilles tendon rupture presents a difficult challenge for the treating surgeon. The ultimate goal of treatment is to restore function of both the gastrocnemius-soleus complex and the Achilles tendon. This particular subset of fractures occurs often in diabetics and elderly patients with osteoporosis making fixation of the displaced fragme...
