Hybrid External Fixation for Open Severe Comminuted Fractures of the Distal Femur
Background: The treatment of distal femoral open comminuted fractures is a major problem for orthopedic surgeon. The basic and important aim in treatment of these fractures is to assemble the condylar fragments and then fix the condyles to the femoral shaft by minimum handling of the bone and soft tissues. Objectives: To evaluate the treatment of distal femoral open comminuted fractures (type C...
متن کاملoutcome assessment of hybrid external fixation in the treatment of comminuted distal femur and proximal tibial fractures
conclusions closed reduction and hybrid external fixation can be used as a definitive treatment for severe comminuted fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia, when the concomitant contusion of the skin and soft tissue damage prohibits safe open reduction and internal fixation. patients and methods in a prospective study, 44 patients with comminuted fractures of the distal femur or prox...
متن کاملIlizarov external fixation for severely comminuted supracondylar and intercondylar fractures of the distal femur.
Our aim was to determine the clinical effectiveness and safety of Ilizarov external fixation for the acute treatment of severely comminuted extra-articular and intercondylar fractures of the distal femur. A total of 14 consecutive patients with complex fractures was treated. There were three type-A3, two type-C2 and nine type-C3 fractures according to the AO/ASIF system. The mean follow-up was ...
متن کاملAcutrak fixation of comminuted distal radial fractures.
The authors describe a new technique of fixation of comminuted displaced distal radial fractures in young adults. A 40-year-old man fell from a ladder and injured his wrist. He sustained a comminuted fracture of the distal radius. The fracture was opened through a volar incision and the three rotated, unreduced fragments were reduced and fixed with three Acutrak (Acumed Inc., Beaverton, OR, USA...
متن کاملDISPLACED- COMMINUTED INTRAARTICULAR FRACTURES OF THE ADULT DISTAL HUMERUS: FUNCTIONAL RESULTS AFTER INTERNAL FIXATION
Background: Intra-articular T- type or Y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. The current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. Methods: In this prospective and retrospective study, we r...
