Late fracture associated with retained internal fixation.
Plates and screws act as stress risers and may result in subsequent fractures (Burny, Bourgois and Donkerwolcke 1980). Despite this, metal is frequently left in situ after union has occurred. Recently we have seen five fractures 20 to 60 years after internal fixation. These cases show that even corroded plates that have lost their structural integrity can cause problems. Case 1. A 61-year-old m...
متن کاملFunctional Outcome of Internal Fixation of Radial and Ulna Fracture
Background: Displaced fractures of radius and ulna bones in adults are usually treated with open reduction and internal fixation. The purpose of this research was to access functional outcome of these fractures. Materials and Methods: In this research 52 Patients who underwent ORIF with DCP 3.5 in past 5 years were investigated. Post-operation protocol was one week immobilization and then acti...
متن کاملOpen pisiform fracture: excision or internal fixation?
A 53-year-old man presented with an open fracture of the pisiform after a fall on his left wrist. Treatment of the patient presented a dilemma between excision of the proximal fragment and internal fixation. The patient underwent internal fixation with a 2.5 cortical screw. At 6 months follow-up the fracture appeared fully consolidated with full functional recovery of the wrist.
متن کاملCombined Type II Odontoid Fracture with Jefferson's Fracture Treated with Temporary Internal Fixation
An 18-year-old male presented after a motor vehicle rollover accident. Computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of Type II odontoid fracture. Considering the patient's young age and the limitations of C1-C2 fusion including significant loss of cervical rotation, temporary internal fixation with a lateral mass fixation of C1 and pedicle fixation of C2 without fusion was done. CT sca...
متن کاملThe Outcomes of Pilon Fracture Treatment: Primary Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Versus Twostage Approach
Background: Pilon fracture is one of the challenging injuries in orthopedic surgery. Associated soft tissue injury is animportant factor in choosing treatment options. Two major methods of treatment are considered as one-stage openreduction internal fixation (ORIF) and two-stage treatment (primary external fixation and secondary ORIF). The latter ismost accepted in literature. In the current st...
