Shoulder arthrodesis using combined internal and external fixation: a review of 9 cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique of shoulder arthrodesis is presented. Fixation of the arthrodesis combines scapulohumeral half-frame Hoffmann external fixation and internal fixation using a cancellous screw. Cancellous bone autografts are packed at the site of arthrodesis. The functional results of nine cases are presented.

متن کاملAn original knee arthrodesis technique combining external fixator with Steinman pins direct fixation.
INTRODUCTION Knee arthrodesis may be the last possible option for infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients and in revision cases involving severe bone loss and/or extensor mechanism damages. Success in these situations depends on achieving good fixation assembly stability. We report bone fusion results using a fixation technique combining cross-pinning by two Steinman pins with a single-...
