External pin fixation for unstable Colles' fractures.
During a five-year period, a double-pin Roger Anderson apparatus, with pins perpendicularly placed in the second and third metacarpals and in the distal part of the radius, was applied in 130 patients with an unstable Colles fracture. Sixty of the 130 were followed for two years. Shortening was limited to a median of two millimeters and dorsal angulation, to a median of 3 degrees. Wrist dorsifl...
متن کاملVAC® for external fixation of flail chest
A large aterior chest wall defect following tumor resection was reconstructed with a Gore-Tex® membrane and a combined musculocutaneous rectus femoris and tensor fasciae latae free flap. Subsequent paradoxical respiration impeded weaning from the ventilator. Appliance of Vacuum Assisted Closure® (VAC®) resulted in immediate chest wall stability and a decrease in the patient's need for respirato...
متن کاملCancellous grafting and external fixation for unstable Colles' fractures.
We present a prospective study of the treatment of 32 unstable Colles' fractures by external fixation and cancellous grafting with minimal exposure. We inserted an external fixator between the radius and the second metacarpal, and maintained ligamentotaxis for five weeks. In 27 patients the result was good or excellent, but five fractures healed with malunion. All patients made a satisfactory f...
متن کاملExternal fixation or closed medullary pinning for unstable Colles fractures?
Fifty patients with complex distal radial fractures treated by primary external fixation were compared with 50 with similar fractures treated by closed medullary pinning. All the patients had Frykman type-VIII injuries. The two groups were similar in regard to demographic characteristics and the method of treatment was randomly chosen. All the fractures healed within three months. In the extern...
متن کاملRandomised study of non-bridging external fixation compared with intramedullary fixation of unstable distal radial fractures.
This is a randomised study to compare two types of osteosynthesis to mobilise wrists after distal fractures of the radius. Inclusion criteria were Older type 2 and 3 fractures. External fixation was managed with Hoffmann II compact non-bridging. Internal fixation was managed with Micronail. Patients were followed up for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the results of the disabilities of arm, s...
