PHILOS humerus plate for a distal tibial fracture
This report discusses the use of an alternative implant in the emergency fixation of a distal tibial fracture. We planned to fix the shear-type medial malleolar fracture in a closed, tri-malleolar fracture with a locking distal tibial plate. Intra-operatively, it was noted that the required plate was unavailable. A PHILOS humeral plate seemed to fit the contours of the distal tibia. The broad e...
متن کاملTreatment of distal humerus fractures.
The elbow is a complex joint and is vital in positioning the hand in space. We believe that open reduction internal fixation offers the best chance for return to function following intra-articular fractures of the distal humerus. We advocate the following principles for the effective treatment of these injuries: identification and protection of the ulnar nerve followed by transposition, broad e...
متن کاملDistal humerus fractures.
Fractures of the distal humerus in adults have traditionally presented a treatment challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. The combination of anatomic complexity, multifragmentary comminution, and a short distal segment, often in the setting of osteoporotic bone, renders these fractures difficult to treat successfully and often make a full restoration of function uncertain. Multiple methods of tr...
متن کاملOutcome of precontoured locking plate fixation in distal humerus fractures
Aim: Outcome of precontoured locking plates fixation in Distal Humerus Fractures. Material and methods: Twenty-five patients with distal humerus fractures were treated with ORIF with pre-contoured locking plates. There were 16 males, 9 females, with an average age of 42.8 years (2159years). As per the AO classification performance score, the results obtained were graded as excellent or good res...
متن کاملTransphyseal Fracture of the Distal Humerus in a Neonate
An 18-hour-old neonate was found to have absent movement of the left arm and a mildly edematous elbow following precipitous delivery with observed traction applied to the left arm. Radiographs (Figure 1) showed abnormal elbow alignment without osseous fracture and a moderate joint effusion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [Figure 2] revealed a transverse fracture through the distal left humera...
