This study presents the results of a minimally invasive operative treatment for markedly displaced midclavicular fractures. In all patients flexible titanium nail was inserted in an unreamed technique from sternal end clavicle. The result surgery determined with clinical and radiographic controls. outcome evaluated 12 months after hardware removal using scoring system Constant Murley. Fifty-eight fractures 55 were treated intramedullary fixation. Postoperatively on Day 3, mean subjective...
Intramedullary fixation is used increasingly to treat clavicular fractures. Anatomical variations in the clavicle of relevance this procedure are analyzed. The length, diameters and curvature were measured 196 specimens from dissecting room. calcium bone density was analyzed 300 cross-sectional samples 100 specimens. thickness cortical medullary 70 slices freshly plastinated clavicles with implants place. female shorter, less curved, had a lower concentration than male clavicle. Measurement...
Background: Intramedullary fixation of midclavicular fractures may be a better option than non-operative treatment for high performance/professional athletes because the potential reduction in recovery time. Objectives: To evaluate effectiveness intramedullary performance and time required to return sporting activity. Methods: Data were taken from prospective study on techniques using elastic stable Ti nail (TEN, Synthes) displaced fractures, initiated 1996. The patients 12 cases classified...
This prospective study investigated medium-term outcomes for 51 children treated from 1997 to 2001 displaced diaphyseal forearm fractures with elastic stable intramedullary nailing. Forty-three patients included achieved excellent/good functional results at an average follow-up of 38 months. Four required open fracture-manipulation surgery. Complications eight cases soft-tissue irritation nail-insertion site (three shortening procedures), two temporary radial nerve branch injuries, four...
Background New cell-based treatments for articular cartilage repair are needed. As the optimal scaffold has yet to be developed, scaffold-free implants may remove complications caused by suboptimal scaffolds. Hypothesis The implantation of a scaffold-free, autologous de novo implant into standardized full-thickness defects femoral condyles in sheep leads qualitatively better regenerative tissue than does periosteal flap alone or no treatment. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods...
Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and skeletal injuries have increased rates of excessive bone healing (EH = hypertrophic callus formation and/or heterotopic ossification). Polytrauma patients are often attributed higher delayed fracture union. This study compares 182 total fractures in 29 isolated polytrauma (POLY) 48 after TBI (TBI+POLY), examining the clinical parameters EH versus delay. A subset 28 (13 TBI+POLY, 15 POLY) underwent serological testing for following turnover...
To localize optimal donor regions for osteochondral graft transplantation, the chondral thickness and radii of curvature femoral condyles talar trochlea were determined. Optosil impressions articular surfaces ten formalin fixed distal femora domes prepared. Therefrom, 5-mm thick frontal sections made in order to measure curvature. Femoral trochleas sliced sagittally into 2-mm sections. Chondral was measured on x-rays. Talar cartilage 0.7 2.0 mm. Cartilage mm 3.1 The smallest radial values...
