Intramedullary nailing of metacarpal shaft fractures.
Uncorrected bony deformity or stiffness resulting from a metacarpal shaft fracture can produce a significant functional or cosmetic deficit. Intramedullary fixation of metacarpal shaft fractures using small flexible rods can provide stable internal fixation while minimizing the extent of soft tissue trauma that is associated with more extensive surgical techniques such as plate or screw fixatio...
متن کاملTreatment of fifth metacarpal neck fractures with antegrade single elastic intramedullary nailing
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes of fifth metacarpal neck fractures using antegrade single elastic nail and to explore ideal puncture point to avoid iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. METHODS A single elastic nail with suitable diameter was used in 27 cases of fifth metacarpal neck fractures with dorsal angulation over 45°. An initial entry point was perforate...
متن کاملPercutaneous elastic intramedullary nailing of metacarpal fractures: Surgical technique and clinical results study
BACKGROUND We reviewed our results and complications of using a pre-bent 1.6 mm Kirschner wire (K-wire) for extra-articular metacarpal fractures. The surgical procedure was indicated for angulation at the fracture site in a true lateral radiograph of at least 30 degrees and/or in the presence of a rotatory deformity. METHODS A single K-wire is pre-bent in a lazy-S fashion with a sharp bend at...
متن کاملElastic stable intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures in children.
We report the use of elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN) in 123 fractures of the femoral shaft in children. Flexible rods are introduced through the distal metaphyseal area, and the aim is to develop bridging callus. Early weight-bearing is possible and is recommended. There was one case of bone infection and no delayed union. Complications were minimal, the most common being minor ski...
متن کاملElastic stable intramedullary nailing of midclavicular fractures in athletes.
BACKGROUND Intramedullary fixation of midclavicular fractures may be a better option than non-operative treatment for high performance/professional athletes because of the potential reduction in recovery time. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of intramedullary fixation in high performance athletes and the time required to return to sporting activity. METHODS Data were taken from a p...
