In this rabbit study we tested the hypothesis that joints fuse because of rigid fixation. 9 skeletally mature loop-ear ...

متن کاملTreatment of symptomatic distal interphalangeal joint arthritis with percutaneous arthrodesis: a novel technique in select patients.
Arthrodesis of the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint is a reliable means of achieving pain relief in a symptomatic DIP joint afflicted by a variety of degenerative, inflammatory, or posttraumatic conditions. Successful arthrodesis is more reproducible when rigid compression of the joint is achieved. The emergence of an increasing number of commercially available headless or variable pitch comp...
متن کاملPercutaneous arthrodesis of small joints in the hand. A minimum three-year follow-up.
Our aim in this prospective study was to evaluate a minimally invasive technique for percutaneous arthrodesis of the small joints in the hand. Thirteen arthrodeses were undertaken in 11 patients, eight women and three men. After the percutaneous removal of articular cartilage, the bony surfaces were aligned in a predetermined position and stabilised using a percutaneous screw system. The mean f...
