Metacarpal Titanium Elastic Nail insertion
UK) fixation requires a 2.5mm drilled entry point at the base of the metacarpal. This can damage soft tissues including the extensor tendon and also risks breaching the volar cortex. We recommend opening the dorsal metacarpal cortex with a curved artery clip (Fig 1). Initially, Figure 2 Clip turned 180° to continue along medullary canal Figure 1 Entry point gained using clip to penetrate the ne...
متن کاملTitanium elastic nail fixation for paediatric femoral and tibial fractures.
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the results of treatment of paediatric femoral and/or tibial diaphyseal fractures with titanium elastic nails (TENs). Sixty six patients with 48 femoral and 25 tibial fractures were followed-up for 15 to 24 months. The outcome rating system proposed by Flynn et al was used to evaluate the final results. Most patients (56.1%) were operated betwee...
متن کاملTitanium and Yellow Nail Syndrome
Yellow nail syndrome was defined in 1964 as a combination of slow growing, discoloured nails and edema (Samman & White, 1964). The rate of growth of finger nails was less than 0.2 mm per week compared with the normal 0.5-1.2 mm per week. The nails were thickened and the cuticles were deficient. The color varied from pale yellow to slightly greenish. Onycholysis (separation of the nail from its ...
متن کاملComplications and technical pitfalls of titanium elastic nail fixation for midclavicular fractures.
Intramedullary titanium elastic nails have been reported to fix displaced midclavicular fractures with excellent functional outcomes and minor complications. This study reports and analyzes the complications and technical pitfalls associated with titanium elastic nail fixation of displaced midclavicular fractures and describes how to prevent these problems. The authors operated on 27 patients (...
متن کاملTreatment of Displaced Mid-Clavicle Fractures by Closed Titanium Elastic Nail
Introduction: Recently, intramedullary nailing for displaced middle third fractures of clavicle has received wide attention. Though open nailing has been widely described, closed nailing finds less mention. This paper therefore aims to study the outcome of closed titanium elastic nailing for displaced mid-clavicular fractures. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study of 34 patients wi...
