Structures at Risk During Volar Percutaneous Fixation of Scaphoid Fractures: A Cadaver Study.
BACKGROUND Fracture of the scaphoid bone can be treated with cast immobilization or surgery. Historically, surgery was reserved for displaced fractures. However, because weeks of cast immobilization may result in stiffness, loss of strength, loss of bone density and an inability to work or participate in recreational activities for a prolonged period, operative treatment of non-displaced fractu...
متن کاملAcute percutaneous scaphoid fixation. A pilot study.
Fractures of the scaphoid are most common in young men; immobilisation in a cast usually means a long period away from work and athletic activities. Early rigid fixation has been shown to promote a rapid functional recovery, but open reduction and internal fixation is technically demanding with the dangers of damage to the radiocarpal ligaments, the scaphotrapezial joint, and the blood supply o...
متن کاملPercutaneous Screw Fixation for Scaphoid Fractures.
Treatment of nondisplaced scaphoid waist fractures has evolved from conventional cast immobilization to percutaneous screw insertion. This study assessed clinical and radiologic outcomes of volar percutaneous screw fixation for 15 type B2 scaphoid fractures (according to the Herbert and Fisher classification). All patients were followed for an average of 33 months (range, 6-50 months). All frac...
متن کاملScaphoid 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 کاملManagement of Acute Trans Scaphoid Peri-Lunate Fracture Dislocation by Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Fixation
The stability of the wrist during motion and interrelated motions depends on the capsuloligamentous integrity and the contact surface contours of the carpal bones [1]. Perilunate fracture dislocations (PLFD) are high-energy injuries, produced by wrist hyperextension. It can be palmar or dorsal. Palmar dislocation is extremely rare and result from a fall on the dorsum of the flexed wrist. This i...
