Early outcomes of proximal humerus fracture fixation with locking plate and intramedullary fibular strut graft.
Proximal humerus fractures are commonly encountered in elderly patients. Surgical treatment demonstrates high complication rates, including varus construct collapse and screw cutout. In this study, the authors evaluate the clinical outcome of locking plate fixation with intramedullary fibular strut graft augmentation as a primary surgical treatment in the prevention of early collapse and screw ...
متن کاملNon-vascularised fibular graft as an intramedullary strut for infected non-union of the humerus.
PURPOSE. To review outcomes of 7 patients who underwent revision surgery for infected non-union of the humerus using a fibular graft as an intramedullary strut. METHODS. Records of 7 men aged 29 to 59 (mean, 40) years with humeral diaphyseal infected non-union who underwent fixation using a compression plate and a non-vascularised fibular graft as an intramedullary strut were reviewed. The mean...
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...
متن کاملFibular Strut Graft Augmentation for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Proximal Humerus Fractures
BACKGROUND Proximal humerus fractures are common problems plaguing the elderly population. PURPOSE The purposes of this study were to determine the outcomes of fibular strut allografts in treatment of proximal humerus fractures with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and to present the authors' preferred surgical technique. The hypothesis was that the use of fibular strut allografts in t...
متن کاملReconstructing humerus defects after tumor resection using an intramedullary cortical allograft strut.
BACKGROUND The humerus is a frequent involvement site of benign bone lesions. Various reconstruction methods have been adopted to restore the defect after excavating the lesion and/or to treat associated pathological fractures. In this study, we reviewed the clinical outcomes of using allogenous cortical struts to the treatment of patients with large humeral defects resulting from benign bone l...
