Dorsal nail plate versus percutaneous k-wire fixation in the treatment of displaced distal radius fractures.
Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures in the elderly, yet the treatment is controversial and still debated in the literature. Twenty four patients aged older than sixty with distal radial fractures were treated by dorsal nail plate. We compared them with twenty four similar matched patients treated by percutaneous Kirschner wiring surgical method. The patients were operated on b...
متن کاملExtra-articular proximal tibial fractures: nail or plate?
The surgical goals for treating proximal tibial fractures are to restore articular congruity, the mechanical axis, and knee motion while avoiding soft-tissue complications. The fracture pattern should be correctly identified and understood. For fractures with minimal intra-articular extension, fracture fixation with an intramedullary nail can decrease the risk of infection because it uses a sma...
متن کاملDorsal nail plate fixation of distal radius fractures.
Intramedullary fixation of distal radius fractures is an emerging concept. The Dorsal Nail Plate is a new device that links a specifically designed stem to a small distal plate; bone fixation is supported by fixed-angle screws. The device is inserted dorsally using a minimally invasive technique ; its indications are unstable dorsally displaced extra-articular or simple articular distal radius ...
متن کاملMinimally invasive plate osteosynthesis for distal tibial fractures.
PURPOSE To review the outcomes of 53 patients who underwent minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for distal tibial fractures. METHODS Medical records of 31 men and 22 women aged 22 to 78 (mean, 51) years who underwent MIPO using a locking compression plate for distal tibial fractures of the left (n=28) and right (n=25) legs with or without intra-articular extension were reviewed. ...
متن کاملSubtrochanteric fractures: Zickel nail or nail-plate?
Of 135 consecutive patients admitted with subtrochanteric fractures of the femur, 104 were studied; half had internal fixation with a Zickel nail and half had a nail-plate device. Fractures treated with a Zickel nail had significantly less blood loss during operation and took less time to walk with full weight-bearing, but the incidence of technical error at operation was higher. Errors include...
