Only few methods treating comminuted radial head fractures have been established providing sufficient joint reconstruction, restoring length and enabling early mobilization. When an anatomical reconstruction using open reduction internal fixation is not possible, resection or primary arthroplasty often conducted. An "Ex situ/on-table" widely disregarded but can be option. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional radiological outcome treated with "on-table" a low profile...
Epidemiological studies on tennis injuries are mainly conducted in either elite professional or junior players. Injury patterns might differ the recreational player.To investigate acute tennis-playing population with an additional focus that require surgical treatment.Case series; Level of evidence, 4.A retrospective data analysis was among patients who sustained injury between January 2013 and December 2018 had treatment administered at a single university hospital. Demographic data,...
Abstract Introduction This study evaluated the use of a free vascularized bone graft with and without cartilage from medial femoral condyle (MFC) in patients recalcitrant scaphoid non-union, special focus on union rates osteochondral for proximal pole destruction. Materials methods Thirty-eight avascular non-unions 37 who were treated osteoperiosteal or MFC retrospectively (mean follow-up 16 months). Bone union, scapholunate radiolunate angles X-ray images. The range motion, grip strength,...
Background: This study evaluates the results of ulnar shortening using ulna osteotomy locking plate system (UOL; I.T.S. GmbH, Graz, Austria) with special regard to time-dependent recovery subjective and objective outcome parameters surgeons’ experiences. Methods: Ulnar UOL was performed on 11 patients (3 men, 8 women) an average age 47 ± 19.6 years. Range motion (ROM) grip strength were compared contralateral hand. Patient-rated outcomes measured a visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain...
Several methods treating proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) fracture dislocations have been established providing early mobilization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome unstable PIP treated with a parabolic dynamic external fixator consisting two Kirschner (K)-wires.Twenty-one patients who sustained pilonoidal were evaluated retrospectively. active range motion, pain level, DASH score, Buck Gramcko Score, patient's satisfaction acceptance assessed....
In spite of increasing quality emergency room (ER) assessment in trauma patients and improved accuracy modern multislice computed tomography (MSCT), the number potentially missed diagnoses is still controversial. The aim this study was to compare initial findings ER MSCT during autopsy not surviving first 48 h after admission. We hypothesized that more accurate than diagnosing fatal diagnoses.Between January 2004 September 2007, all undergoing treatment our institution who deceased within...
Recently, the Cobra prostheses were introduced in treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) elderly patients. Fracture provide an alternative option for complex where conservative therapy seems not acceptable and osteosynthesis possible. Data reporting feasibility prosthesis are sparse. Therefore, this retrospective follow-up study investigated clinical radiological mid-term outcome implant DRFs patients.Thirteen patients (mean age 73.5 years, range 65-87 years) retrospectively evaluated...
Given the absence of a satisfying plate system to deal with multifragmentary or subcapital distal ulnar fractures, Distal Ulna Locking Plate (DUL, I.T.S. GmbH, Graz, Austria) could become useful treatment option. This study aimed evaluate results this anatomically pre-contoured regarding patients unstable displaced fractures.In prospective clinical trial, 20 (18 female, two male; mean age 70 years (24-91 years)) ulna fractures between December 2010 and August 2015 were analyzed. All treated...
Abstract Introduction A new technology (Sportwelding®) was recently presented, which uses ultrasonic energy to meld a resorbable suture anchor at the interface with host bone. standardized clinical use not investigated yet. This study prospectively evaluated surgical and outcomes of Fiji Anchor® (Sportwelding®, Schlieren, Switzerland) in repair an ulnar collateral ligament lesion metacarpophalangeal joint thumb. Material methods The range motion, grip pinch strength, disability arm, shoulder...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term results surgically treated scaphoid fractures since we were concerned that good might deteriorate over time due osteoarthritis or functional impairment. Thirty-three out 121 patients (isolated n = 23; with concomitant injuries 10) evaluated retrospectively (47–138 months). Five (4%) had a non-union after internal fixation and excluded because additional treatment. remaining 83 not available for follow-up examination. Patients an isolated...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference clinical outcome elderly patients who were treated surgically or conservatively for a displaced olecranon fracture (Mayo type IIA IIB).Patients above age 70 years (n = 11) Mayo and IIB between July 2015 February 2019 retrospectively compared with 6). range motion, elbow strength, grip VAS, DASH, OES, MEPI Broberg Morrey scores evaluated.The conservative group showed non-union persistent gap 17 mm (SD 12 mm) at articular rim 31 (15 dorsal...
