abstract background: distal radial fracture is one of the most common fractures of the skeletal system. although it has been believed to be a simple fracture with excellent outcomes, practical operations’ results have always been undesirable and even poor. the goal of this study was to compare two methods of treatment “pin and plaster and precautious pin fixation in patients with unstable extra...

Background: Distal radius fractures constitute 17% of all fractures and 75% of forearm fractures in adults. Due to the vital role of the hands in a wide range of daily tasks, quick recovery and fewer complications for the patients are important. The purpose of this study was to compare the two common treatments of distal radius fractures namely, percutaneous pinning and pin-in-plaster. Methods...

Supracondylar fractures of humerus are the most common fractures in children. The management of severely displaced, unstable fractures of the humerus in children continues to be controversial. We undertook a retrospective study of 48 children with displaced supracondylar fractures (8 were treated with plaster and 40 with cross percutaneous Kirschner wire pinning). Only three children were treat...

Thirty-five patients were treated for Type III fractures of the intercondylar eminence of the tibia and were followed up for two to seven years. There were 20 Type IIIA fractures and 15 Type IIIB fractures. The avulsed fragment was reduced by operative arthroscopy and maintained either by extension and immobilisation in a cast or by crossed percutaneous pin fixation. Involvement of the medial c...

OBJECTIVE To compare iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury in lateral entry pin fixation versus medial and lateral entry pin fixation in the treatment of supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. Measurement of clinical parameters in terms of elbow range of motion and postop radiographic alignment was also targeted. METHODS The retrospective cohort study was conducted at Aga Khan University...

BACKGROUND Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures seen in children, and account for 16 % of all pediatric fractures. Closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation is the current treatment technique of choice for displaced supracondylar fractures of the distal humerus in children. The purpose of this study was to determine whether pin diameter affects the ...

Background: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures of skeletal system and because of the aging of population, its incidence is rising. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the close reduction and percutaneous pin fixation as a treatment option. Material and methods: 44 patients who were type 2 according to universal classification or type 2 or 3 according to Ol...

The aim of this study was to find out whether discharging pin sites following Kirschner-wire fixation of distal radial fractures warrant early wire removal. In a prospective study of 50 patients with a closed distal radial fracture treated by manipulation and either percutaneous or mini-incision Kirschner-wiring, we identified 14 patients (28%) with discharging pin sites. All of the cases were ...
