Open reduction and internal fixation of capitellar fractures with headless screws. Surgical technique.
BACKGROUND The outcome of operatively treated capitellar fractures has not been reported frequently. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and functional outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation of capitellar fractures that were treated with a uniform surgical approach in order to further define the impact on the outcome of fracture type and...
متن کاملBicondylar Hoffa Fracture Successfully Treated with Headless Compression Screws
Bicondylar coronal plane fracture, eponymically named Hoffa fractures, is an extremely rare injury. We present a case of isolated unilateral bicondylar Hoffa fracture that was successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation using headless compression screws with satisfactory results. We inserted posteroanteriorly oriented Acutrak screws perpendicular to the fracture plane via lat...

متن کاملA Case of Distal Femur Medial Condyle Hoffa Type II(C) Fracture Treated with Headless Screws
Coronal plane fractures of the distal femur are less frequent compared to sagittal plane fractures. They were described by Hoffa in 1904 and are known as Hoffa fractures (AO type B3). They are isolated fractures of the femoral condyle and rare in occurrence. The objective in the treatment of these fractures is to achieve anatomical reduction of the articular surface and a stable fixation to pre...
متن کاملComparison of Five Headless Screws for Fixation of Small Bones
Headless screws are favored for internal fixation in the treatment of displaced or unstable small bone (e.g., Scaphoid) fractures, because they are embedded below the articular surface of the bone, reducing tissue irritation and immobilization. Compression plays an important role in fracture stability, maintaining gap reduction and also accelerating the healing of cancellous bone [1]. There are...
