A Pitfall in Fixation of Distal Humeral Fractures with Pre-Contoured Locking Compression Plate
Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...
متن کاملA locking compression plate as an external fixator for treating infected nonunion of the humeral diaphysis
BACKGROUND Infected nonunion of the humeral diaphysis is a challenging problem for orthopedic surgeons. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of using a locking compression plate (LCP) as a definitive external fixator in the management of infected nonunion of the humeral diaphysis after failure of internal fixation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a series of seven patients with infect...
متن کاملTreatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with dynamic compression plate and cancellous bone graft.
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to evaluate the treatment of aseptic nonunion of the humeral shaft with a dynamic compression plate (DCP) and cancellous bone graft. METHODS One hundred and five cases of nonunion of a humeral shaft fracture between 1982 and 2001 were analyzed retrospectively. The study population comprised 66 males and 39 females with an average age of 46.2 years (range, 1...
متن کاملManagement of Humeral Shaft Fractures With Intramedullary Interlocking Nail Versus Locking Compression Plate.
Surgical fixation of humeral shaft fractures generally involves plating or nailing. It is unclear whether one method is more effective than the other. The aim of this study was to compare the results of the intramedullary nail and locking compression plate for the treatment of humeral shaft fractures. A total of 60 patients with humeral shaft fractures were randomized to undergo surgery with an...
متن کاملResults of surgical treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with dynamic compression plate and cancellous bone grafting
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with dynamic compression plate from January 2002 to December 2009. METHODS Twenty-two patients were treated over the study period. Trauma was the predominant cause of injury in 86.4% of the patients. RESULTS Nonunion was atrophic in 81.8% and hypertrophic in 18.2% of the individuals. There was a primary injury of the...
