Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – longitudinal traction restores skeletal length and improves fracture alignment, – radial styloid frx and scaphoid facet are usually amenable to reduction through ligamentotaxis or by manipulation and reduction with a large, pointed bone clamp; – residual incongruity usually involves the lunate facet of the distal end of … Read more
– Discussion: – generally distal interlocks should be inserted prior to the proximal interlocks; – this allows the leg to be rotated in the most advantageous position for interlock insertion and allows more effecient compression across the frx site (by gently tapping the proximal nail assembly proximally); – … Read more
div class=”mh-row clearfix”> h1>/h1> div class=”bodycopy”>hr size=”3″/> strong>- Technique:/strong>br/> – while obtaining a perfect circle under flouroscopy it is important not to rotate the foot because this will cause a malalignment of the foot progression angle;br/> – instead, rotate either the entire leg as a unit or … Read more
– Discussion: – if frx extends distally past midpoint of trochlear notch, it no longer represents only a disruption of the triceps mechanism; – it comprimises stability of elbow in withstanding varus & valgus forces; – Reduction: – reduction of olecranon frx is easiest w/ elbow in extension which relaxes the … Read more
– See: – Phalangeal Menu: – Nail Bed Injuries: – Finger Tip Injuries: – Mallet Frx – Discussion: – fractures of the distal phalanx usually result from crushing injuries that produce significant soft tissue injury; – in such injuries the primary concern is soft tissue repair; – when the fractures are comminuted, the fragments are … Read more
– Distal Radial Length: – shortening results from extensive comminution and impaction of frx fragments into the metaphysis; – shortening of radius is more disabling than an angulatory deformity of the distal radius (ie, dorsal tilt or loss or radial inclination); – radial shortening following … Read more
– Discussion: – fracture types: – barton’s fracture – dorsal – barton’s fracture – volar – chauffeur’s fracture – colles fracture – intra-articular fractures of distal radius – pediatric distal radius fracture – smith’s fracture – classification: – frykman classification – melone classification – universal classification – radiographs: – radial inclination – radial length … Read more
– See: – Femoral and Tibial Traction Pins – Supracondylar Femoral Fractures – Discussion: – failure of the nail to fill the canal of either the proximal or distal fragment, may lead to postoperative instability; – distal fractures within 10 cm of the joint line often can be treated successfully with standard IM nailing; – Traction Pins: … Read more
– Discussion: – tight distal fit techniques achieve toggle control of stem in medullary canal; – tight distal fit is correlated w/ lower prevalence of thigh pain; – torsional stress is transferred thru proximal fixation in specimens w/ both proximal and distal fixation despite the fact … Read more
