A retrospective analysis of factors influencing re-operation in patients undergoing mechanical valve replacement
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine the possible factors leading to re-operation in patients undergoing mechanical valve replacement and to investigate the relationship between valvular thrombus formation and mean platelet volume. METHODS The medical records of 43 patients with mechanical valve implantation, who were admitted to the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Dr Siyami Ersek Thoraci...
متن کاملPlate osteosynthesis for severe olecranon fractures.
PURPOSE To review outcomes of 10 patients who underwent plate osteosynthesis for severe olecranon fractures. METHODS Records of 7 men and 3 women aged 33 to 73 years who underwent plate osteosynthesis for severe olecranon fractures were reviewed. All had some degree of soft-tissue injury; 6 presented with associated fractures. Seven patients were treated with a limited contact dynamic compres...
متن کاملOlecranon Fractures Have Features of Osteoporotic Fracture
BACKGROUND To determine whether olecranon fractures have osteoporotic features such as age-dependent, low bone attenuation and low-energy trauma as a cause of injury. METHODS Elbow computed tomography (CT) and medical record review were performed in 114 patients (53 males and 61 females) with acute olecranon fractures. The mean age was 57 years. Bone attenuation was measured on the central pa...
متن کاملTreatment of nonunion of olecranon fractures.
We report the results in 24 consecutive patients treated from 1976 to 1991 for nonunion of olecranon fractures. Their mean age was 42 years, and the mean interval from fracture to treatment for nonunion was 19 months. Management was by rehabilitation and activity as tolerated for three, continued immobilisation for one, and operative treatment for 20. Operations included excision of the olecran...
متن کاملMethods of Fixation of Olecranon Fractures
This study was designed to compare the rigidity of the more commonly used techniques of internal fIxation of fractures of the olecranon. Cadaveric elbow joints were mounted in a jig and confrolled osteotomies performed to simulate transverse, oblique or comminuted fractures. Five techniques of internal fixation were tested by measuring movement at the fracture site after applying a bending mome...
