Scaphoid Fracture Fixation with an Acutrak® Screw
We report a case of fixation of a scaphoid fracture using an Acutrak(®) screw. This screw is cannulated and headless, which allows it to be implanted below the surface of the bone. It uses the same concept of variable thread pitch as the Herbert screw, but unlike the Herbert screw, is fully threaded, with continuously varying pitch along its length. This variable pitch creates constant compress...
متن کاملAnatomic Locking Plate Fixation for Scaphoid Nonunion
Nonunion can occur relatively frequently after scaphoid fracture and appears to be associated with severity of injury. There have been a number of techniques described for bone grafting with or without screw fixation to facilitate fracture healing. However, even with operative fixation of scaphoid fractures with bone grafting nonunion or malunion rates of 5 to 10 percent are still reported. Thi...
متن کاملThe Importance of Screw Design in Scaphoid Fracture Fixation
The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of gender, screw design, and the approach on maximal screw length in scaphoid fracture fixation. Measurements were performed on 3D reconstructions of 20 CT scans of normal scaphoids. A comparison was made between 15 different available screw designs and between volar and dorsal screw placement. The length of the scaphoid along its central...
متن کاملScaphoid fracture: functional outcome following fixation with Herbert Screw.
BACKGROUND Most scaphoid fractures though heal uneventfully with cast treatment, immobilization with cast is associated with complication like wrist stiffness. Open reduction and fixation with Herbert Screw though technically demanding procedure can yield excellent results and prevents complication like nonunions and loss of wrist function. OBJECTIVES To assess clinical outcome and radiologic...
متن کاملPercutaneous screw fixation without bone grafting for established scaphoid nonunion with substantial bone loss.
Ununited fractures of the scaphoid with extensive bone resorption are usually treated by bone grafting and internal fixation, using either an open or a minimally invasive technique. We studied the feasibility of percutaneous fixation without bone grafting in a consecutive series of 27 patients with established nonunion of an undisplaced fracture of the scaphoid and extensive local resorption of...
