Percutaneous tension band wiring for patellar fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate outcome of percutaneous tension band wiring for transverse fractures of the patella. METHODS 16 men and 7 women aged 27 to 65 (mean, 40) years underwent percutaneous tension band wiring for transverse fractures of the patella with a displacement of >3 mm. Pain, operating time, mobility, functional score, and complications were evaluated. RESULTS 20 patients underwent suc...
متن کاملIntramedullary Nailing for Pathological Fractures of the Proximal Humerus
BACKGROUND Endoprosthetic reconstruction is widely applied for pathological fractures of the proximal humerus; however, functional impairment is usually unsatisfactory. The aims of the current study are to evaluate the reliability of interlocking intramedullary (IM) nailing with cement augmentation as a fixation method in proximal humeral lesions and to assess functional outcomes. METHODS We ...
متن کاملTension band wiring versus Knowles pinning for non-union of type-2 distal clavicle fractures.
UNLABELLED PURPOSE; To compare tension band wiring (TBW) with Knowles pinning for non-union of type-2 distal clavicle fractures. METHODS 22 men and 6 women aged 23 to 62 (mean, 39) years underwent TBW (n=17) or Knowles pinning (n=11) for non-union of type-2 distal clavicle fractures. Both techniques were supplemented with autogenic cancellous bone grafting. Functional outcome of the shoulder ...
متن کاملAntegrade intramedullary pinning versus retrograde intramedullary pinning for displaced fifth metacarpal neck fractures.
BACKGROUND Severe angulation or shortening can be a surgical indication for fifth metacarpal neck fracture. In a previous meta-analysis, antegrade intramedullary pinning was shown to produce better hand function outcomes than percutaneous transverse pinning or miniplate fixation for treatment of fifth metacarpal neck fractures. However, the outcomes of retrograde intramedullary pinning, to our ...
متن کاملTrends in Surgical Management and Costs for Operative Treatment of Proximal Humerus Fractures in the Elderly.
Proximal humerus fractures in the elderly are increasing in frequency as the population ages. The purpose of this study was to investigate surgical and cost trends in the Medicare population. The PearlDiver database was queried using diagnosis codes to identify Medicare recipients with proximal humerus fractures from 2005 to 2012. Surgical trends, demographics, and charge/reimbursement data wer...
