Background
The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative outcomes of cementless Total hip arthroplasty (THA) following failed internal fixation for femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures.Method
Ninety-six cementless THAs for failed internal fixation after femoral neck fracture (59, group I) and intertrochanteric fracture (37, group II) with a minimum follow-up of 3 years were analyzed. Clinical and radiologic evaluations were performed on all patients.Results
The intraoperative blood loss and operating time were significantly increased in group II (p?=?0.001, p?=?0.001, respectively). Harris hip score at last follow-up was significantly improved in group I (p?=?0.007) but, there were no differences in hospital stay, Koval score at last follow-up, and perioperative complications between both groups. Long femoral stems for diaphyseal fitting were frequently used in group II (32/37, 86%) (p?=?0.001). Radiographically, none of the acetabular cups showed evidence of migration, loosening. All cases showed stable fixation of the femoral stem at last follow-up.Conclusions
Outcomes of cementless THA following failed internal fixation for femoral neck and intertrochanteric fractures were satisfactory; increased intraoperative blood loss, operating time, and requirement of long femoral stem should be considered in the latter type of fracture. 相似文献2.
Objectives
The purpose of this study is to analyze posteromedial fragment morphology using two-dimensional computed tomography fracture mapping and to compare posteromedial fragment morphology in various Schatzker type tibial plateau fractures.Materials & methods
One hundred twenty-seven consecutive AO/OTA B- and C-type tibial plateau fractures were retrospectively analyzed using 2DCT fracture mapping. The posteromedial articular fracture angle and articular surface areas of all fractures with posteromedial fragments were calculated. Based on biomechanical studies, posteromedial fragments with coronal fracture angles >68° were considered amenable for anterolateral stabilization with standardized plating. Kruskall-Wallis non-parametric test was used for statistical comparison of morphological features of posteromedial fragments between the various Schatzker types.Results
Forty-seven out of 127 tibial plateau fractures included a posteromedial fragment. The mean posteromedial articular fracture angle was 44° (range: 2°-90o, standard deviation: 23°). Forty fragments (85%) had a fracture angle of <68°, increasing the risk for insufficient stabilization with standardized anterolateral plating. The mean articular surface area was 34% of the entire tibial plateau (range: 7%–53%, SD: 12%). There were no significant differences in posteromedial fragment morphology between Schatzker type IV, V, and VI fractures.Discussion and conclusion
Posteromedial fragments commonly occur not only in Schatzker type V and VI, but also in Schatzker type IV tibial plateau fractures. Eighty-five percent of tibial plateau fractures with a posteromedial fragment may benefit from non-standard customized lateral plating, or may require an additional medial or posterior surgical approach for fracture-specific fixation to optimize screw purchase and biomechanical stability. 相似文献3.

Background
This 10?year retrospective study of the NTDB is the first to describe trends in scapula fracture diagnosis frequency, epidemiology, injury mechanisms and the type of hospital where the condition is treated.Methods
Demographics, ISS scores, hospital data, mechanism of injury, complications, and hospital length of stay were recorded for patients with diagnosed scapula fractures (ICD-9, 811.0) recorded in the NTDB, v7.2 (2002–2012). Mean and standard deviation for continuous variables and proportions for binary variables are calculated.Results
The prevalence of scapula fractures in all patients submitted to the NTDB (2002–2012) was 1.74%. Between 2006–2007, the reported incidence doubled from 1% to 2.2%. There was a predominance of injury to white males (75% and 78% respectively). Forty-one percent were treated at a Level 1 trauma center and had a mean ISS of 20.1 (SD-11.8). Scapula fracture rates declined in patients 0–19 years and increased in the 60–79 and 80+ age groups. The increasing incidence of the aged population is also reflected in the increase of falls as the mechanism of injury in the elderly population.Conclusion
This study is the first to describe a full decade of scapula fracture epidemiology on a national scale. The number of diagnosed scapula fractures increased substantially in the NTDB between 2002-2012. Scapula fractures diagnosed in the geriatric demographic and fractures resulting from falls are both on the rise, whereas the reported incidence is decreasing in the younger demographic. Additionally, fractures as a result of motor vehicle accidents also decreased precipitously during the reported decade. 相似文献4.
Background and purpose
The treatment of paediatric distal radius diaphyseal metaphyseal junction (DRDMJ) fractures is a challenge. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new operative approach at the proximal “safe zone” of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) to treat paediatric DRDMJ fractures and analyse the safety and efficacy of antegrade elastic stable intramedullary nail (ESIN) fixation.Methods
Thirty paediatric patients with unstable and displaced DRDMJ fractures were treated by antegrade ESIN fixation from November 2015 to September 2017. We created the entrance site at the posterolateral side of the proximal radius and 2?4?cm distal to the articular surface of the radius, using the ESIN to immobilise the fractures. In the study, we reviewed patient demographics, complications, time until removal, and intraoperative time for hardware removal.Results
Complete fracture healing was achieved between 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. Except for 3 patients presenting with irritation of the skin, we did not observe any complications. Radiologically, no secondary displacement, nail migration, loss of fixation, consolidation delay, non-union, or refracture was noted.Conclusions
The antegrade ESIN fixation is a minimally invasive, easy-to-learn, alternative operative method to treat paediatric DRDMJ fractures.Level of evidence

Background
Ankle fractures are extremely common and represent nearly one quarter of all lower-limb fractures. Techniques for fixation of displaced fractures of the lateral malleolus have remained essentially unchanged in recent decades. The current gold standard of treating unstable fractures is with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), using plates and screws construct. This study evaluates the use of fibula intramedullary nailing based on minimal invasive surgical approach.Methods
Thirty-nine cases treated with fibula intramedullary nailing between the years 2014–2016 were retrospectively studied. A fibular nail was utilized for the treatment of various ankle fractures either as the sole method of fixation or combined with another method. Patient charts were reviewed for fracture patterns, comorbidities, quality of reduction, complications and additional surgeries.Results
Out of 39 cases in the study cohort, 37 were closed fractures while 2 had an associated medial malleolus open injury. According to Weber classification of lateral malleolus fractures, 20 cases were type B, 18 cases type C, and one case of a pathologic fracture type B like fracture.Quality of reduction was based on previously published criteria. It was determined to be good in 32 cases, fair in 5 cases and poor in 2 cases that were revised intraoperatively to plate fixation.Overall no systemic complications occurred. Eight patients have undergone additional surgeries, namely hardware removals. In two cases, the nail was later revised to a different fixation method: one case to a plate, due to secondary displacement at 2 weeks, and one to an intramedullary tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis secondary to hardware failure and Charcot neuroarthropathy.Conclusion
Intramedullary fibular nail offers a satisfactory and safe procedure to establish good reduction and fixation of lateral malleoli fractures. It may be considered as treatment of choice for patients with soft tissue problems due to its minimal invasive approach. The current study shows that while good fracture reduction can be achieved, without major complications, more than fifth of patients, required secondary procedures, mainly hardware removals.Level of evidence: Level IV 相似文献6.

Purpose
Antegrade intramedullary nailing is an alternative for humeral shaft fracture treatment. This surgical technique can be especially demanding in some fracture patterns, leading to problems like malunion and non-union. The purpose of our study is to demonstrate that the use of a nail with cerclage wires could be a safe procedure that facilitate reduction, specially in fractures with abduction of the proximal fragment.Materials and methods
Fifty-six patients were included, from January 2007 to March 2016. In this cohort forty-two patients were females and eighteen males; mean age was sixty-seven (32–89). The fractures were reduced using a cerclage wire through a small lateral or anterior approach, then, antegrade intramedullary nailing was performed. Fracture healing was established by clinical and radiographic evaluation. Shoulder function was assessed using the Constant Score.Results
Fifty-three patients healed (94.6%) adequately. Two patients developed a non-union (3.5%). One patient developed an infection (1.8%). Transient radial nerve palsy was observed in two patients (3.5%). The mean Constant Score at the end of the study was 70 points (range from 34 to 98 points).Conclusions
Surgical treatment of humeral shaft fractures with cerclage wire and intramedullary nailing is a safe technique to improve fracture reduction. The use of cerclage wires leads to better bone contact while minimizing malunions. The rate of non-union in our study is lower than the rate reported in the literature for humeral shaft fractures treated by intramedullary nailing alone. 相似文献7.
Purpose
To compare the outcomes of the arched shape-memory connector (ASC) only fixation and the lateral one-third tubular plate fixation in managing unstable Type A or B lateral malleolus fractures according to the Weber (AO) classification, and to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of ASC only fixation in treating these fractures.Methods
From January 2010 to January 2015, 148 patients with Type A or B (Weber (AO) classification) lateral malleolus fractures treated with the arched shape-memory connector (ASC) only fixation or lateral plate fixation were included. There were 66 patients in the ASC only fixation group and 82 patients in the lateral plate group. Intergroup differences were absent regarding patient and fracture characteristics. The incision length, complete-union time, major complications and complaints, incidence of hardware removal, and final radiographic and functional evaluations were compared.Results
The follow-up time averaged 18.2 months in the ASC fixation group and 17.2 months in the lateral plate group. The ASC only fixation group had significantly decreased wound infection (4.55% versus 14.63%) and skin necrosis (none versus 7.32%). Of patients who underwent ASC only fixation 3.03% reported lateral ankle pain, 7.58% received palpable hardware, and 3.03% reported hardware irritation, while the corresponding observations in the lateral plate group were 19.51%, 54.88%, and 14.63%, respectively, representing a statistical difference. Furthermore, compared with the lateral plate group, the incidence of hardware removal was markedly lower in the ASC fixation group (12.12% versus 30.49%). In terms of reduction accuracy, complete-union time, and AOFAS scores, no appreciable differences were observed.Conclusions
ASC only fixation is a reliable alternative for managing Type A or B lateral malleolus fractures, leading to fewer soft tissue complications, fewer hardware complaints, and a reduced need for hardware removal, and a reduced need for hardware removal. In addition, ASC can be used for augmented plate fixation in certain comminuted fracture patterns. 相似文献8.

Background
This study assessed the surgical outcomes of Lisfranc injuries accompanied by multiple metatarsal fractures. Metatarsal fractures here refers to metatarsal head, neck, and shaft (including shaft fractures accompanied by fractures of the base) fractures, as well as mixed (i.e., segmental fracture) fractures, as seen on imaging studies.Methods
Between 2002 and 2015, one hundred and seventy-six patients were followed-up for a mean of 92 months, including eight patients who underwent secondary arthrodesis due to severe arthritis after ORIF. All the patients underwent surgical fusion (primary partial arthrodesis, PPA; n?=?78) or non-fusion (percutaneous or open reduction and internal fixation, ORIF; n?=?98) procedures and the outcomes were evaluated by clinical examinations, radiography, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score, the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot score, the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), and the Short Form (SF)-36 physical and SF-36 mental questionnaires. The parameters between the fusion and non-fusion groups were analyzed by repeated-measures ANOVA. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were then further analyzed using a two-independent-samples t-test.Results
Anatomical reduction was achieved in 161 patients. At the last follow-up, the mean AOFAS score was 74.67 (range: 39–91) in the non-fusion group and 82.79 (range: 67–97) in the fusion group (P?=?0.003). The PPA and ORIF groups differed significantly with respect to the VAS pain score (1.93 vs. 1.21), the SF-36 physical (75.87 vs. 80.90) and mental (75.76 vs. 81.33) components, and the FAOS pain (72.74 vs. 84.06), symptoms (71.87 vs. 82.49), activities of daily life (ADLs: 73.12 vs. 81.54), sport/recreation (sport/rec: 57.99 vs. 73.23), and quality of life (QoL: 79.95 vs. 86.67) components. In the ORIF group, 23 patients had mild/moderate post-traumatic osteoarthritis.Conclusions
With longer and more conservative postoperative management, fusion results in a better outcome than non-fusion in the treatment of Lisfranc injuries accompanied by multiple metatarsal fractures. 相似文献9.

Background
It is common practice when placing cannulated screws within the femoral head when treating femoral neck fractures to avoid the thread-forms from crossing the fracture line. Despite the widespread use of cannulated screws in internal fixation of femoral neck fractures, there is no study to our knowledge that describes the ideal length of thread-forms.Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the thread length that will maximize purchase within the femoral head while minimizing risk of crossing the fracture line. Additional analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with the maximal possible length of treads in minimally and non-displaced femoral neck fractures.Methods
We performed a retrospective study of all patients treated for a minimally or non-displaced femoral neck fracture from April 1, 2004 through December 31, 2017. Only patients who had received a pre-operative CT or MRI scan were included. Fixation was then templated using radiographs and the distance from the subchondral bone to the fracture line was then measured.Results
The study included 127 patients. The average estimated length of lag screw threads was 33.2?±?6.67?mm, with lower quartile of 29.1?mm and higher quartile of 37.2?mm. The median was 32.0?mm and most frequently encountered estimate was 29?mm. Estimated lag screw size did not differ significantly based on age or BMI, but both height (p?<?0.001) and race (0.04) were positively correlated with estimated lag screw size and males had longer measurements compared to females, 37.2?±?7.0?mm vs 31.4?±?5.7?mm (p?<?0.001), respectively.Conclusion
In conclusion, we propose an additional lag screw thread form with length 26.0?mm to capture 90% of femoral neck fractures. 相似文献10.
Background
The main purpose of this study is to introduce our surgical technique and report surgical outcomes for percutaneous cable fixation in the treatment of subtrochanteric femoral fractures.Methods
Between May 2013 and April 2017, 51 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures treated with closed intramedullary nailing and percutaneous cable fixation were enrolled in this study. Postoperative angulation, union rate, time from injury to union, and femoral shortening were also evaluated to assess radiologic outcomes. Clinical outcomes, including range of hip flexion, walking ability, and Harris hip score at the last follow-up were evaluated.Results
Average coronal and sagittal angulation after surgery were 0.9 (range 0–5) and 0.3 (range 0–5), respectively. There was no postoperative angulation of more than 5°. Average shortening of the femur at 1-year follow-up was 2.7?mm (range 0–15). Bone union was achieved in 50 patients (98.0%) and average time to union was 18.6 weeks (range 12–48). Hip flexion, walking ability and Harris hip score at the last follow up were 115.6° (90–120), 7.9 (5–9), and 88.3 (65–100), respectively.Conclusion
Percutaneous cerclage cable fixation can provide a greater likelihood of achieving anatomical reduction and increased stability of fracture, while preserving biology around the fracture site. Thus, percutaneous cerclage cable fixation can be an effective surgical technique for the treatment of complex subtrochanteric fractures. 相似文献11.

Objectives
Improved fixation techniques with optional use of bone cements for implant augmentation have been developed to enhance stability and reduce complication rates after osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures. This biomechanical study aimed to evaluate the effect of cement augmentation on implant anchorage and overall performance of screw-anchor fixation systems in unstable femoral neck fractures.Methods
Ten pairs of human cadaveric femora were used to create standardized femoral neck fractures (Pauwels type 3 fractures; AO/OTA 31-B2) with comminution and were fixed by means of a rotationally stable screw-anchor (RoSA) system. The specimens were assigned pairwise to two groups and either augmented with PMMA-based cement (Group 1, augmented) or left without such augmentation (Group 2, control).Biomechanical testing, simulating physiological loading at four distinct load levels, was performed over 10.000 cycles for each level with the use of a multidimensional force-transducer system. Data was analysed by means of motion tracking.Results
Stiffness, femoral head rotation, implant migration, femoral neck shortening, and failure load did not differ significantly between the two groups (p?≥?.10). For both groups, the main failure type was dislocation in the frontal plane with consecutive varus collapse). In the cement-augmented specimens, implant migration and femoral neck shortening were significantly dependent on bone mineral density (BMD), with higher values in osteoporotic bones. There was a correlation between failure load and BMD in cement-augmented specimens.Conclusion
In screw-anchor fixation of unstable femoral neck fractures, bone-cement augmentation seems to show no additional advantages in regard to stiffness, rotational stability, implant migration, resistance to fracture displacement, femoral neck shortening or failure load. 相似文献12.

Background
Despite impressive results of the pharmacological management of rheumatoid arthritis, still certain patients suffer from rheumatoid forefoot problems. Surgical treatment of these forefoot deformities can be an option. In literature no high-quality studies on this topic can be found.The goal of present study is to compare the results of a metatarsal head (MTH) resecting technique with a MTH preserving technique in the operative treatment of severe rheumatoid forefoot deformity.Methods
Patients suffering from well-defined rheumatoid forefoot deformity were prospectively enrolled in three institutions. This non-blinded study had a randomised clinical design and eligible patients were randomly assigned to undergo either resection of preservation of the MTH. The primary outcome measure consisted of the AOFAS score. Secondary outcome measures were: the FFI, the VAS for pain and the SF-36.Results
Twenty-three patients (10 in MTH preservation group) were included and analysed. After one year follow-up no significant differences in AOFAS score and additional outcome factors were found. A total of 10 complications in 23 patients were reported.Conclusions
This randomised clinical study did not show significant clinical difference between a MTH resecting and a preserving procedure in patients suffering from rheumatoid forefoot deformity. Both procedures resulted in considerable improvement of pain and activity scores. 相似文献13.
Objective
To analyse whether early post-operative full weight bearing following syndesmotic ankle fixation affected radiographic outcomes suggestive of diastasis.Design
Retrospective comparative cohort study over a two year period.Setting
Level 1 trauma centrePatients/Participants
152 consecutive patients sustaining an unstable ankle fracture requiring syndesmotic stabilisation were included. Exclusions were 49 patients who had trimalleolar fixation without syndesmosis screws, one patient who had concomitant ankle and talar fracture. Five patients were lost to follow up and eleven patients were followed up in other centres. A total of 86 patients were analysedIntervention
Protected or full weight bearing.Main Outcome Measurement
The primary outcome measure was early diastasis. The secondary outcomes were late diastasis, wound complications and re-operation. Analysis of variance was used for the predictor variable of weight bearing status. We assumed a priori that p values of less than 0.05 were significant.Results
Median age was 36 (IQR 30), with 54 males and 32 females. Median follow up was 12 weeks (IQR 6). There was no significant difference when comparing weight bearing status and change in radiographic measurements intra-operatively compared to 6 and 12 week follow up radiographs (tibiofibular clear space p?=?0.799, tibiofibular overlap p?=?0.733 and medial clear space p?=?0.261).Conclusion
After surgical stabilization of an unstable syndesmotic injury, full weight bearing did not lead to syndesmotic diastasis in the early post-operative period. Full weight bearing is recommended following ankle fixation which includes syndesmotic fixation. 相似文献14.

Objectives
Hip dislocations are highly morbid injuries necessitating prompt reduction and post-reduction assessment for fracture and incarcerated fragments. Recent literature has questioned the need for initial pelvic radiographs for acute trauma patients, resulting in computed tomography (CT) scans as the initial evaluation. This study investigates the relationship between choice of pre-reduction imaging and treatment of acute hip dislocations.Design
Retrospective Case-Control.Setting
Single Academic Level I Trauma Center.Methods
All acute hip dislocations from 2011 to 2016 were reviewed. Exclusion criteria were diagnosis of dislocation at another facility, death prior to reduction, emergent surgical or ICU intervention, and periprosthetic dislocation. Patients were grouped by those with only a radiograph prior to reduction, Group I, versus those with a pre-reduction CT scan, Group II. The primary outcomes were time to reduction and the acquisition of a second CT scan.Results
Of the 123 hip dislocations identified, 35 patients were excluded, mostly for transfer with a known dislocation. Group I included 29 patients and Group II included 59 patients. The mean time to reduction was 74?min in Group I and 129?min in Group II for a difference of 55?min (p?<?0.001). The rate of repeat CT scan was 0 in Group I versus 48 (81%) in Group II (p?<?0.001).Conclusion
Initial trauma pelvic radiography prior to CT is still important in the setting of suspected hip pathology to decrease time to hip reduction and unnecessary radiation exposure.Level of evidence

Introduction
The annual incidence of proximal femoral fractures is 100–150/100,000 and continues to increase with an aging population. Cut-out of hip screws after fracture fixation has been quoted as 8% in the literature. The tip-apex distance (TAD) is the strongest predictor for cut-out after operative fracture stabilisation.The aim of this study was to evaluate the novel ADAPT system (Adaptive Positioning Technology, Stryker, USA), a navigation device for intramedullary nailing of trochanteric fractures and its effect on optimising the TAD. This is the first clinical study to evaluate this new technology.Methods
The study group of 36 consecutive patients with a pertrochanteric fracture underwent intramedullary nailing for fracture fixation using ADAPT technology, while the matched control group underwent conventional Gamma-3-nailing. Matching criteria included fracture classification, gender and age. We measured the operative time and the postoperative TAD in anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs of the 72 patients.Results
The mean TAD using ADAPT was 16.9?mm (range 8.4–33.7?mm) compared with 24.9?mm (range 14.6–40.2?mm) in the reference group treated without ADAPT. Using the ADAPT system significantly improved (p?<?0.0005) the accuracy of lag screw placement but had no effect on operating time in fixation of femoral pertrochanteric fractures.Conclusion
Working with the novel ADAPT system for positioning the lag screw using the Gamma-3-nail led to a statistically highly significant reduction of the TAD compared to the reference group (p?<?0.001). The ADAPT system proved to be a very useful device in achieving higher surgical standards for the treatment of trochanteric fractures with intramedullary nailing. It enables higher accuracy in screw positioning and therefore better placement of the implant. 相似文献17.
Introduction
The reported rate of nonunion of distal femoral fractures varies in the literature. Several risk factors for nonunion following lateral locked plating (LLP) have been described. We aimed to study the rate of nonunion, and risk factors thereof, in a Swedish population where fragility fractures are common. A secondary aim was to study risk factors for reoperation for any cause.Patients and Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the hospital files and radiographs of all adult patients admitted to our institution with a distal femoral fracture, from 2004 through 2013. In cases treated with LLP, medical comorbidities, fracture characteristics and implant characteristics were analysed as potential risk factors for nonunion, defined as any surgical intervention to improve healing.Results
There were 8 cases (4%, 95%CI: 1.8–8.1%) of nonunion in 191 fractures treated with LLP. Patients with nonunion were younger: 62 vs. 81 years (p?=?0.009) and more commonly had open fractures: 38% vs. 9% (p?=?0.034). No patient 80 years or older had a surgical intervention for nonunion. Lower age was independently associated with reoperation for any cause, but not for nonunion.Discussion
The low rate of nonunion in this study is probably due to the fact that we present data from a complete cohort from a geographic catchment area. Referral centres with a high proportion of young patients with high-energy injuries, may be better suited for studies on risk factors for nonunion, due to higher statistical power. However, results from such institutions may not be generalizable to the more common low-energy fractures. 相似文献18.

Background
To compare the efficacy between fixation with suture-button and screw in the treatment of syndesmotic injuries: a meta-analysis.Methods
We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library and performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and retrospective comparative studies (RTCs). We performed using Review Manager 5.2.Results
Three RCTs and six retrospective studies were conducted, including a total of 397 patients. The significant differences of the fixation of suture-button were reported for AOFAS scores (at 3, 6 and 12 months follow-up), full-weight time, reoperation, malreduction and the rate of failure of fixation. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding complications of infection, VAS, OMAS, range of motion, TFCS, TFO and MCS.Conclusions
Neither the functional outcome nor complications significantly differed between the fixation methods, but suture-button might lead to a quicker return to work. This analysis needs to be confirmed and updated by larger sample data and rigorously designed RCTs. 相似文献19.

Introduction
In this retrospective study we have analyzed a consecutive series of patients affected by isolated radial head Mason III fractures and treated with bone resection or prosthesis.Patients and methods
This study includes 24 patients affected by fractures mentioned above and treated between July 2009 and November 2015.15 patients (average age 48 y.o.) have been treated with prosthesis. The remaining 9 (average age 573) have been treated with a capitellectomy instead.From a clinical point of view, we have evaluated the patients according to main performance indicators such as range of motion, pain, instability and Mayo Elbow Performance Score as parameters.Results
We have found similar results in both group, with an average MEPS value of 95 in the prosthesis group and 966 in the radial head resection group.The range of motion was similar too: between 1,3° and 1203° in the first group and between 4,4° and 120° in the second one. No significant complication has detected in any patient.Discussion
According to most recent literature, it is not precisely defined how to treat isolated Mason III fractures, contrary to what is defined in more complex pattern, in which prosthesis are now evaluated as the best indication.Due to radial head limited contribution to elbow stability, in absence of other bony or ligamentous lesions both capitellectomy and prosthesis can be good treatment in this kind of fracture.Conclusion
According to our experience and to the most recent literature, we recommend prosthesis in patient younger than 50 y.o., high demanding or manual worker, while in other cases we think that radial head resection can be the treatment of choice. 相似文献20.
