Open reduction and internal fixation compared to closed reduction and external fixation in distal radial fractures
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In unstable distal radial fractures that are impossible to reduce or to maintain in reduced position, the treatment of choice is operation. The type of operation and the choice of implant, however, is a matter of discussion. Our aim was to investigate whether open reduction and internal fixation would produce a better result than traditional external fixation. METHODS 5...
متن کاملClosed Reduction versus Open Reduction and Pin Fixation in Pediatric Type III Supracondylar Humeral Fractures
Background Supracondylar humeral fractures constitute about 60% and 13% of all pediatric elbow and pediatric skeletal fractures, respectively, with a peak incidence in the 5-7 years age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare closed reduction with open reduction and pin fixation in type III supracondylar humeral fractures in children younger than...
متن کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Distal Humerus Fractures
The goal in the management of distal humerus fractures is to obtain rigid internal fixation that allows immediate rehabilitation of the extremity. The advent of anatomic plating systems as well a systematic approach to these injuries facilitates these goals. This article outlines our approach to these complex problems from injury through rehabilitation.
متن کاملOpen Reduction and Internal Fixation of Complex Radial Head Fractures
Fractures of the radial head have an incidence of about 1.7% to 5.4% of all adult fractures. These fractures are classified as simple or complex, depending upon whether there is an associated fracture or a ligamentous injury. Thorough clinical & radiological assessment should be done to differentiate simple fractures from complex fractures with concomitant elbow injury. The management of comple...
متن کاملOpen reduction and internal fixation of radial head fractures.
BACKGROUND We evaluated the radiologic and functional outcomes of patients with radial head fractures managed with open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS Between 1998-2003, 15 patients (7 males, 8 females; mean age 34.1; range 18 to 49 years) with radial head fracture were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Follow-up time was 54.6 months (42-78). Three fractures were Ma...
