Intramedullary fixation of proximal tibial fractures
is challenging owing to the relatively high chance of displacement during nail insertion. The stability of the proximal fixation is inferior because of the wider diameter of the intramedullary canal in the metaphysis. This has led to the use of Poller screws for additional blocking during intramedullary fixation of proximal or distal tibial fractures.1 The effects of Poller screw is two-fold. F...
متن کاملBilateral proximal tibial stress fractures in osteoarthritic knee treated with simultaneous corrective osteotomy and internal fixation.
We report a patient who had bilateral stress fractures of proximal tibial shaft secondary to advanced osteoarthritis of knee with varus deformity. With treatment by simultaneous correction of deformity and internal fixation, the fractures healed uneventfully and the chronic knee pain was much alleviated. Due to progression of the symptom, right total knee replacement was finally performed 9 yea...
متن کاملInternal fixation of proximal humeral fractures.
Fractures of the proximal humerus are common, especially in elderly individuals, and are usually classified according to Neer into fractures having one, two, three, or four parts with or without an associated dislocation or an injury splitting the humeral head. This article is intended to assist the surgeon in selecting and using techniques for internal fixation of these fractures. The use of o...
متن کاملAcute compartment syndrome in tibial diaphyseal fractures.
We reviewed 25 patients with tibial diaphyseal fractures which had been complicated by an acute compartment syndrome. Thirteen had undergone continuous monitoring of the compartment pressure and the other 12 had not. The average delay from injury to fasciotomy in the monitored group was 16 hours and in the non-monitored group 32 hours (p < 0.05). Of the 12 surviving patients in the monitored gr...
متن کاملProphylactic Fixation of Impending Fractures
Pathologic fractures occur as a result of weakening of the mechanical properties of bone. There are many conditions, which lead to bone softening. There are neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases that cause pathologic fractures. The aim is to evaluate and to highlight on value of prophylactic fixation of impending fractures in abnormal bone situation to prevent occurrence of pathological fractu...
