Percutaneous Intramedullary Fixation of Metacarpal Shaft Fractures

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999
Twenty-two displaced metacarpal shaft fractures in 19 patients were stabilized with multiple intramedullary K-wires. These were inserted percutaneously through a small window in the base of the metacarpal and were buried in the bone. No external splintage was routinely used postoperatively and all patients were encouraged to mobilize their fingers ...

Intramedullary fixation of fracture of the sternum

Injury, 1988
A case of fracture of the sternum in a patient suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta is presented. Internal fixation was carried out using a plate which was placed within the medulla. The described technique is simple and useful for the rarely indicated operative treatment of fractures of the sternum.

Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Mid-shaft Clavicle Fractures

Benha Medical Journal, 2020
Aim: To investigate the use of intramedullary screw for fixation of mid-shaft clavicle fractures including indications, preoperative planning, operative technique, and complications during the study period. Setting and design: Prospectively we used intramedullary screw for fixation of mid-shaft clavicle fractures either nondisplaced, minimally ...

Intramedullary k-wire fixation of metacarpal fractures

Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, 2004
The majority of metacarpal fractures can be treated conservatively. Nevertheless, surgical treatment is justified in certain cases. Palmar dislocation of >30 degrees and shortening of >5 mm will significantly affect extension and flexion of the hand. Consequently, surgical treatment is indicated.

Intramedullary Fixation of Fibular Fractures Associated With Pilon Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2010
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of intramedullary fibular fixation to maintain reduction until healing and to determine the overall complication rate in high-energy pilon fractures associated with fibular fractures.Retrospective study.Level I university trauma center.From 2000 to 2007, 972 pilon fractures were treated at our ...

FLEXIBLE INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL FIXATION OF PEDIATRIC FEMORAL FRACTURES

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1996
The management of pediatric femoral shaft fractures gradually has evolved toward a more operative approach in the past decade. This is because of a desire for more rapid recovery and reintegration of the patients, and a recognition that prolonged immobilization can have negative effects even in children.

Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Jones Fractures

The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2002
Treatment failures after screw fixation of Jones fractures are reported to be infrequent. Between 1993 and 1999, 15 patients (mean age, 21.7 years) underwent cannulated screw fixation of a Jones fracture at our institution. There were six treatment failures: four re-fractures and two symptomatic nonunions.

Intramedullary Screw Fixation for Simple Olecranon Fractures

JBJS Essential Surgical Techniques
Background: Olecranon fractures are common injuries that often require surgical fixation to maintain elbow function. Nonoperative management of these injuries may be indicated in the elderly, as a recent randomized controlled trial found that 81% (9) of 11 operatively managed olecranon fractures in the elderly had complications

Intramedullary nailing with supplemental plate and screw fixation of long bones of patients with osteogenesis imperfecta: operative technique and preliminary results

Journal of pediatric orthopedics. Part B, 2016
Although intramedullary fixation is the standard form of surgical fixation of the long bones of children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), it remains fraught with complications.

Intramedullary fixation for fractures of the hand

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1981
Twenty-seven fractures in 22 patients were treated with an intramedullary rod, introduced through the fracture fragments, without violating the joint surfaces. Twenty-six fractures united. There was one nonunion and one migration of the pin into the joint; there were no infections.
