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 کاملMedial malleolar fractures: a biomechanical study of fixation techniques.
Fracture fixation of the medial malleolus in rotationally unstable ankle fractures typically results in healing with current fixation methods. However, when failure occurs, pullout of the screws from tension, compression, and rotational forces is predictable. We sought to biomechanically test a relatively new technique of bicortical screw fixation for medial malleoli fractures. Also, the AO gro...
متن کاملComminuted fractures of the olecranon. Management by bone graft from the iliac crest and multiple tension-band wiring.
Between 1993 and 1999, we treated ten patients with comminuted fractures of the olecranon by multiple tension-band wiring and a graft from the iliac crest. Their mean age was 35 years (19 to 56). The mean follow-up was for 28.5 months (15 to 46) and the mean time to union of the fractures was four months (3 to 7). No patient reported difficulties with activities of daily living or symptoms of i...
متن کاملA Prospective Randomised Control Trial for Comparison Between olecranon Lock Plate And Tension Band Wiring In Transverse olecranon Fractures
Introduction: Olecranon fractures are frequently encountered in the practice of orthopaedic surgery with a prevalence of 60% among patients with a fracture of the proximal ulna. Generally the treatment of choice for displaced olecranon fracture is open reduction and internal fixation. We report the result of a prospective Randomised Control Trial of Forty patients, who were treated either by Te...
متن کاملComparison of a minimally invasive technique with open tension band wiring for displaced transverse patellar fractures.
BACKGROUND Open reduction and internal fixation with tension band wire is the standard treatment for displaced transverse patellar fractures. Recently, some minimally invasive techniques have been proposed as possible alternative methods. This retrospective study compared a newly reported percutaneous osteosynthesis with conventional open method for the treatment of displaced transverse patella...
