Fixation of unstable type II clavicle fractures with distal clavicle plate and suture button.
This article reports on a technique to treat unstable type II distal clavicle fractures using fracture-specific plates and coracoclavicular augmentation with a suture button. Six patients with clinically unstable type II distal clavicle fractures underwent treatment using the above technique. All fractures demonstrated radiographic union at 9.6 (8.4-11.6) weeks with a mean follow-up of 15.6 (12...
متن کاملPrecontoured locking plate fixation for displaced lateral clavicle fractures.
Displaced fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle are associated with an increased risk of nonunion with conservative treatment; therefore, operative treatment is recommended. Various operative treatments have been suggested, but no consensus exists regarding a gold standard for the surgical treatment of this type of fracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiolog...
متن کاملArthroscopically Assisted Fixation of Unstable Distal Third Clavicle Fractures
INTRODUCTION Clavicle fractures are common injuries, representing 35 to 45% of fractures of the shoulder girdle. Fifteen to 25% of those involve the distal portion of the clavicle. Previously, non-operative management of midshaft clavicle fractures was based on the premise that even grossly malunited fractures had a minimal impact on functional outcomes. However, level I evidence supports the i...
متن کاملLaparoscopic internal fixation is a viable alternative option for continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion
PURPOSE One of the major drawbacks of peritoneal dialysis (PD) is catheter migration and dysfunction. Preventing catheter migration is one of the main concerns. We compared laparoscopic internal fixation method with open surgical method for catheter migration rates. METHODS From January 2008 to August 2009, PD catheters were inserted by laparoscopic fixation (LF) method in 22 patients and by ...
متن کاملClosed reduction and fixation of high-energy femoral neck fractures: Still a viable surgical treatment option
Background: Femoral neck fracture causes disability if not treated properly and high-energy fractures usually have increased complication rates. Does closed reduction and internal fixation of femoral neck high energy fractures have increased complication rates? Methods: We used closed reduction and internal fixation using 3 cannulated cancellous screws. There were 67 patients (39 male, 28 femal...
