Intramedullary Fixation of Diaphyseal Clavicle Fractures Using the Rockwood Clavicle Pin: Review of 86 Cases
AIM This study reports the safety, efficacy and functional and patient centred outcomes of the largest published series of patients treated with the Rockwood clavicle pin (intramedullary device) to date. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective review of case notes, radiographs and follow-up by questionnaire was conducted. 86 patients were operated upon, 70 for acute fractures (group A) and 16 fo...
متن کاملAn intramedullary Echidna pin for fixation of comminuted clavicle fractures: a biomechanical study
BACKGROUND Intramedullary fixation of comminuted mid-shaft clavicle fractures has traditionally been employed with satisfactory clinical outcomes; however, pins with smooth surfaces may protrude from the bone and are prone to migration, while some threaded pins are difficult to remove post-operatively. The aim of this proof-of-concept study was to develop and evaluate the biomechanical strength...
متن کاملComplications of intramedullary Hagie pin fixation for acute midshaft clavicle fractures.
The purpose of this report was to evaluate patient outcomes after treatment of acute midshaft clavicle fractures with an intramedullary Hagie pin, including clinical results and the incidence of postoperative complications. Between 1993 and 2003, 16 patients who underwent intramedullary Hagie pin fixation of a midshaft clavicle fracture were identified. The medical records of each patient were ...
متن کاملComplications of clavicle fractures treated with intramedullary fixation.
HYPOTHESIS Recent studies have demonstrated better outcomes with operative fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures. We hypothesize that the risk of major complication with intramedullary fixation for clavicle fractures will be low. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clavicle fractures in 58 patients were treated with intramedullary fixation. Patients were excluded for concomitant pathologies and...
متن کاملOperative Cost Comparison: Plating Versus Intramedullary Fixation for Clavicle Fractures.
Although clavicle fractures often heal well with nonoperative management, current literature has shown improved outcomes with operative intervention for specific fracture patterns in specific patient types. The 2 most common methods of midshaft clavicle fracture fixation are intramedullary and plate devices. Through retrospective analysis, this study performed a direct cost comparison of these ...
