Transosseous suture fixation of proximal humeral fractures.
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of displaced fractures of the proximal part of the humerus remains controversial. We evaluated the long-term functional and radiographic results of transosseous suture fixation in a series of selected displaced fractures of the proximal part of the humerus. METHODS Over an eleven-year period, a consecutive series of 188 patients with a specifically defined dis...
متن کاملTransosseous Suture Fixation of True 4-part Valgus Impacted Fractures of the Proximal Humerus: Clinical and Radiological Outcome in 49 Patients
Background The valgus-impacted (VI) 4-part fractures are a subset of fractures of the proximal humerus with a unique anatomic configuration characterized by a relatively lower incidence of avascular necrosis after operative intervention. Objectives The present study reports the midterm clinical and radiological results of a large series of consecutive patients with 4-part VI fractures treated...
متن کاملTension suture fixation using 2 washers for proximal humeral fractures.
The surgical treatment for proximal humeral fractures is challenging, especially in patients with osteoporosis. Locking plates and intramedullary nails have been widely used with satisfactory results, but previously reported complications have not been substantially reduced. Several authors have emphasized the importance of maintaining soft tissues around the proximal humerus with respect to li...
متن کاملThe Outcome of Proximal Humeral Locking Plates in the Management of Three and Four Part Proximal Humeral Fractures in Special Cohort of Young Patients in High Velocity Trauma
Background: Locking plate fixation provides satisfactory outcome following proximal humerus fractures. None of theprevious studies selectively evaluate the outcome in young patients. This study evaluates outcome of locking platesystem in the treatment of acute three- and four-part fractures in young patients.Methods: In this prospective study we included all patients who were less than 60 years...
متن کاملPatellar fracture following combined proximal and distal patella realignment.
The authors present a case of a proximal avulsion fracture of the patella two months after a combined proximal and distal realignment operation. Devascularisation of the patella due to the combined technique was considered the main pathogenic factor. Treatment with open reduction and transosseous fixation was successful.
