Kirschner wire fixations for scapholunate dissociation: a cadaveric, biomechanical study.
PURPOSE To compare 5 different Kirschner wire fixation techniques in terms of the failure loads seen as scapholunate (SL) dissociation in a cadaveric, biomechanical study. METHODS 10 fresh-frozen, finger-amputated wrists with sectioned SL ligaments from 3 male and 2 female cadavers were tested. The change of SL angle, SL dissociation, and the load to failure of the 5 different Kirschner wire ...
متن کاملCommentary: Percutaneous release of the A1 pulley using a modified Kirschner wire: a cadaveric study.
PURPOSE. To evaluate the outcome of percutaneous release of the A1 pulley in 40 cadaveric fingers using a modified Kirschner wire. METHODS. A 2.5-mm-diameter Kirschner wire measuring >12 cm in length was used. One end of the wire was sharpened into a 'J' shape using a grinder. The J-shaped tip featured a blunt, elongated lower tip, a sharp J-shaped curve, and a blunt upper tip. Completeness of ...
متن کاملTreatment of Scapholunate Dissociation With Palmaris Longus Tendon Graft: A Biomechanical Study
Posttraumatic instability of the wrist, resulting in scapholunate dissociation, is a common injury pattern in the wrist [2]. Mayfield et al. [1] described instability progressing sequentially from a scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) tear to complete ligament failure around the lunate, resulting in lunate dislocation. Linscheid et al. [4] also demonstrated that excision of the dorsal rad...
متن کاملTraumatic Scapholunate Dissociation--case Report.
Perilunate injuries occur after an impact trauma to the wrist. The recognition of these lesions and immediate treatment are the two essential conditions to ensure the best possible outcome. The first therapeutic step is the restoration of anatomical joint relationships of the carpus followed by percutaneous pinning or internal fixation required for maintaining the congruence this segment. Despi...
متن کاملIntrathoracic migration of a Kirschner wire
Kirschner (K) wires can easily migrate, resulting in serious complications. We report a 49-year-old woman who had a rare and late complication related to the migration of K wire. It had been used for left hip replacement 8 years ago. The patient admitted to our hospital with breathing-dependent chest pain and increasing dyspnea for ∼2 h. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomographic scans revealed...
