conclusions the use of variable-angle locking plates in treating unstable distal end radius fractures is associated with excellent to good functional outcomes with minimal complications. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes in unstable distal end radius fractures treated with variable-angle locking plates. patients and methods we reviewed 23 unstable ...

Viršgumburinio žastikaulio lūžio mechanizmas susijęs su vaiko amžiumi, todėl ši priklausomybė plačiai tiriama ir interpretuojama. Distalinės žievės suplonėji­mas bei alkūninės duobės ataugos sąveika – tai priežastys, kurios nulemia jaunesniojo amžiaus vaikų pažeidžiamumą. Teigiama, kad tipas pagal Gartland klasifikaciją operacinė gydymo taktika buvo pagrindi­niai veiksniai, nulemiantys komplika...

Purpose. Analysis of early vascular and nerve complications of supracondylar humerus fractures in children. Material and Methods. 220 children hospitalized in the Pediatric Trauma-Orthopedic Department in the years 2004-2014. The group consisted of 143 males and 77 females. Results. Acute neurovascular complications occurred in 16.81% of patients with displaced supracondylar fracture (37 childr...

A 28-year-old male patient was referred to the Peripheral Nerve Injury Unit at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital for evaluation and treatment of a neuropathic type pain he had developed in his right arm. Some twenty years previously, he had sustained a Gartland type III supracondylar humeral fracture with what was thought clinically to be an anterior interosseous nerve palsy. The fracture...

The results in sixteen patients who had a displaced, comminuted intra-articular fracture of the distal end of the radius and who were treated by open reduction and internal fixation were retrospectively reviewed. At a mean follow-up of 4.8 years, 81 per cent of the patients had a rating of good or excellent by the scoring system of Gartland and Werley, but only 56 per cent had such a rating whe...

Percutaneous pinning after closed reduction is commonly used to treat supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children. Minor pin tract infections frequently occur. The aim of this study was to prevent pin tract infections using a rubber stopper to reduce irritation of the skin against the Kirschner (K) wire following percutaneous pinning. Between July 2011 and June 2012, seventeen children w...
