Medial malleolar fractures: a biomechanical study of fixation techniques.
Fracture fixation of the medial malleolus in rotationally unstable ankle fractures typically results in healing with current fixation methods. However, when failure occurs, pullout of the screws from tension, compression, and rotational forces is predictable. We sought to biomechanically test a relatively new technique of bicortical screw fixation for medial malleoli fractures. Also, the AO gro...
متن کاملThe use of three types of suture and stainless steel wire tension banding for the fixation of simulated olecranon fractures: a comparison study in cadaver elbows.
Using an osteotomy of the olecranon as a model of a transverse fracture in 22 cadaver elbows we determined the ability of three different types of suture and stainless steel wire to maintain reduction when using a tension-band technique to stabilise the bone. Physiological cyclical loading simulating passive elbow movement (15 N) and using the arms to push up from a chair (450 N) were applied u...
متن کاملInternal Fixation of Transverse Patella Fractures Using Cannulated Cancellous Screws with Anterior Tension Band Wiring
Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of anterior tension band wiring technique using two cannulated cancellous screws in patients with transverse (AO34-C1) or transverse with mildly comminuted (AO34-C2) patellar fractures. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study of 25 patients with transverse fracture or transverse fracture with mildly comminuted patella fractures. All the ...
متن کاملBraided Polyester Suture Fatigue Failure When Treating Transverse Patellar Fracture: A Case Report
The incidence of patellar fractures accounts for almost 1% of all skeletal fractures. In case of a displaced patellar fracture, surgical intervention is often advocated for earlier stability, restoration of knee motion, and shortened morbidity. Among various fixations, the AO modified tension band technique, which incorporates two parallel Kirschner wires with an anterior tension band, is the m...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of tension band wiring (TBW) of transverse fractures of patella
PURPOSE Tension band wiring is commonly used for fixation of simple transverse fractures. The popular configuration is parallel Kirschner wires (K-wires) and a stainless steel wire loop placed in a vertically oriented figure-of-8. METHODS We used a wooden model of a patella with a midway transverse fracture and compared four different types of fixation. The first construct had a vertical figu...
