Osteochondral fractures of the knee in skeletally immature patients: short term results of operative fixation using Omnitech screws.
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE Osteochondral fractures in skeletally immature patients are rare. A retrospective case series is reported looking at the use of Omnitech compression screws for these injuries. METHOD Nine patients with a mean age of 14 were included in the study with a mean follow up of 26 months. RESULTS The average KOOS, IKDC and Tegner Lysholm Scores were 86.7, 90.34 and 96.1 respectively. CONCLUSION The use of Omnitech screws in the acute setting for skeletally immature patients shows excellent short-term outcomes.

Physeal-sparing tibial eminence fracture fixation with a headless compression screw.
Displaced tibial intercondylar eminence fractures frequently require operative fixation. Surgical techniques for fixation include the use of headed screws or sutures. However, these fractures commonly occur in skeletally immature patients, and current techniques violate the proximal tibial physis to maintain reduction and can result in growth disturbances. The authors present a physeal-sparing ...
متن کاملA Pitfall in Fixation of Distal Humeral Fractures with Pre-Contoured Locking Compression Plate
Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...
متن کاملClinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopically assisted cannulated screw fixation for tibial eminence fracture in children and adolescents
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and complications of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation with cannulated screws for tibial eminence fracture in skeletally immature patients. METHODS This was a retrospective case series study. Forty-eight patients who were skeletally immature at the time of tibial eminence fracture were treated in a tertiary chil...
متن کاملPediatric calcaneal fractures
Although operative treatment of displaced, intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus in adults is generally accepted as standard practice, operative treatment for the same fractures in the skeletally immature remains controversial, potentially because the outcome for fracture types (intra- vs. extra-articular) and severity (displaced vs. nondisplaced) have been confounded in studies of childre...
متن کاملBioabsorbable Pins for Treatment of Osteochondral Fractures of the Knee after Acute Patella Dislocation in Children and Young Adolescents
A retrospective study was performed on the use of bioabsorbable pins in the fixation of osteochondral fractures (OCFs) after traumatic patellar dislocation in children. Eighteen children (13 females, 5 males) aged 11 to 15 years (mean age 13.1 years) with osteochondral fracture (OCF) of the knee joint were treated at the authors' institution. Followup ranged from 22 months to 5 years. Diagnosis...
