Outcome of distal end clavicle fractures treated with locking plates
PURPOSE Fractures of the lateral end of the clavicle are relatively uncommon. These fractures are unstable due to the various deforming forces which act on the fragments as well as the small distal fracture fragment. At most times the deforming forces are not taken into consideration, and the fracture is not fixed securely. In this study, we assessed a fixation technique using the precontoured ...
متن کاملA Pitfall in Fixation of Distal Humeral Fractures with Pre-Contoured Locking Compression Plate
Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...
متن کاملStabilization of distal femur fractures with intramedullary nails and locking plates: differences in callus formation.
OBJECTIVES This study compared callus formation in distal femur fractures stabilized with locking plates and intramedullary nails to test the hypothesis that locking plates induce less fracture callus than IM nails. DESIGN Retrospective case matched study. SETTING Two orthopaedic trauma centers. PATIENTS 174 distal femur fracture were reviewed to extract cases treated with retrograde IM n...
متن کاملA comparison of locking versus no nlocking plates in distal femur fractures
Background: Comminuted distal femur fractures are associated with a high complication rate and their treatment is difficult. This type of fracture is more common in young people with major trauma and following motor vehicle accidents. In old patients with osteoporosis the fractures are often closed and occur following a minor trauma. The aim of our study was to compare the outcomes and complica...
متن کاملTreatment of distal femur fractures with locking plates: Comparison of periprosthetic fractures above total knee arthroplasty and non-periprosthetic fractures.
The purpose of the present study was to compare the results and plate fit of periprosthetic and non-periprosthetic distal femur fractures fixed with locking plates. Twenty-one periprosthetic fractures above a TKA and 27 non-periprosthetic fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The primary healing rate, bone union time, clinical and radiographic results, complications, and additional surgeries...
