Background

The aims of this study were to identify the artery feeding the fifth metatarsal and determine how bunionette osteotomy could injure this vessel.

Methods

The nutrient artery entering the fifth metatarsal was investigated in 10 adult cadaveric lower limbs by barium injection and enhanced computed tomography.

Results

The nutrient artery entered the medial aspect of the fifth metatarsal around the junction of the middle and proximal thirds obliquely from a distal direction (mean?angle 36°) in the coronal plane in all cases; in the axial plane, the point of entry and direction of the artery was medial-plantar (mean?angle 49°).

Conclusions

This report revealed direction and location of the nutrient artery entering the fifth metatarsal.  相似文献

Objective

Symptomatic distal interlocking screws in retrograde femoral nailing are common due the difficulties of imaging the trapezoidal femur. Screws appearing to have appropriate length on imaging may possibly be prominent, creating symptoms. Screw trajectory may influence the degree of this radiographic error. We hypothesize that external rotation of screw trajectory will increase measurement error of screw length.

Design

Retrospective.

Setting

Urban Level I Tertiary Trauma Center.

Participants

283 patients with Computer Tomography (CT) scans of the native knee were retrospectively identified. Simulation was done of the trajectory of an interlock at 20?mm and 40?mm proximal to the nail entry point, which represent common screw positions associated/not associated respectively, with removal. The distance between the radiographic medial cortex and the tip of the transverse screw was calculated (D). The angle (Ψ) between the transverse trajectory and a modified trajectory aimed at the most medial cortex to avoid radiographic measurement error was calculated. Geometric modeling was utilized to calculate the measurement error (D) in the event of accidental external rotation. The angle of the medial slope was also measured (Θ).

Intervention

Review of CT imaging of normal distal femora.

Main Outcome Measurements

CT measurements of distal femora.

Results

The mean distance (D) at 20/40?mm was 4.21 [95%CI 4.02–4.402] and 2.03?mm [95%CI 1.78–2.83], respectively (p?<?0.0001). The mean angle (Ψ) between the transverse and modified trajectory at 20/40?mm was 12° [95%CI 11.5–12.5] and 9.60° [95%CI 9–10.2], respectively (p?<?0.0001). External rotation by a similar amount nearly triples the measured difference (D). The measured medial slope was significantly increased as screws were placed more proximal (Θ20 mm 46.5 vs Θ40 mm: 48.7?°, p?<?0.00001).

Conclusion

The distance between the perceived medial cortex and the tip of the most transverse screw is 4.21?mm and could account for painfully prominent screws. In more proximal screws this distance is decreased. Internal rotation of the screw trajectory 12° can reduce this distance (D), which has implications in nail design. External rotation, amplifies this difference nearly three-fold. Surgeons should avoid external rotation of the aiming arm to prevent prominent screws.  相似文献

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.

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

Introduction

Distal femoral fractures have many of the same challenges as hip fractures, but there has been limited research into outcomes following these. The aim of this study was to assess 30 day mortality following distal femoral fractures in comparison to hip fractures presenting to a single institution Secondary outcomes included risk factors for mortality, post-operative complications and union.

Methods

A retrospective case series of all distal femoral fragility fractures in patients over 65, and hip fractures over a 5?year period at a single institution.

Results

88 distal femoral fractures and 2837 hip fractures fulfilled the inclusion criteria. In the distal femoral fractures there were 80 females and 8 males with a mean age of 82.4 (range 65–103). The mean age of the hip fractures was 83.7 (range 65–106) and there were 2066 females and 771 males.The overall 30 day mortality for hip fractures was 7.7% and was 9.1% for distal femoral fractures. The risk ratio was 1.1777(95% CI 0.6009–2.3080) (p?=?0.6338). There was no significant difference in 30 day mortality between the two fracture types.Of the 88 distal femoral fractures 75 (85.2%) underwent open reduction internal fixation, 5 (5.7%) intramedullary nail and 8 (9.1%) conservative treatment. 11.4% suffered a medical complication. 9.1% patients required at least 1 further surgical procedure. The union rate was 94.3%. The 1?year mortality was 34.1%.

Conclusions

There is no significant difference in 30 day mortality between distal femoral and hip fractures. Distal femoral fractures occur in a complex group of patients that is similar to hip fractures. They have high mortality and complication rates.  相似文献

Introduction

Young patients with femoral neck fractures are optimally treated with reduction and stable fixation, while patients over the age of sixty-five are often treated with arthroplasty. This study analyzes in-hospital outcomes associated with total hip arthroplasty, hip hemiarthroplasty and internal fixation for treatment of femoral neck fractures in patients aged 45–64.

Methods

Records of patients between the ages of 45–64, from 2002 to 2014, sustaining femoral neck fractures and treated with internal fixation, hip hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). Examined variables were age, sex and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Outcome measures included hospital length of stay (LOS), complications, and inpatient hospitalization charge.

Results

From 2002–2014 74,678 femoral neck fractures were available for analysis. THA use increased from 5.3% of operatively managed fractures in 2002 to 22.3% of operatively managed fractures in 2014 (p?<?0.0001). Patients undergoing THA had higher hospital cost, higher in hospital complication rates and longer length of stay than patients undergoing internal fixation (p?<?0.0001). The in-hospital mortality for patients undergoing a hip hemiarthroplasty was higher (1.2%) than either total hip arthroplasty (0.2%) or internal fixation (0.5%) (P?=?0.007).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates that the use of total hip arthroplasty in treatment of femoral neck fractures in patients from the age of 45–64 increased 4.2-fold over the study period. This treatment is associated with increased hospital cost, length of stay and complications. Additionally, as age increased in our study population, there was a stepwise increase in the use of arthroplasty, and it appears that hemiarthroplasty is being used with a different patient population.  相似文献

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

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 centre

Patients/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 analysed

Intervention

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

Introduction

Intra-articular distal humeral fractures involving both columns require double-plate fixation. In orthogonal plate fixation, screws from the medial plate reach the radial column, while screws from the dorsolateral plate run posterior–anterior, not creating interdigitation. The Synthes LCP-DHP system has an orthogonal plate configuration that enables dorsolateral plating with support, as the radial and ulnar columns are linked via interdigitation of the distal screws. We hypothesized that the transcondylar screw from the posterolateral plate, which interdigitates with screws from the medial plate, enables more rigid stabilization of orthogonal plating in distal humeral AO type C fractures.

Methods

A previous study reported the biomechanical properties of orthogonal plate fixation using an AO type 13-C2.3 intra-articular fracture model with a 1-cm supracondylar gap using artificial bones (Kudo et al., Injury, 2016). We performed a biomechanical study of the dorsolateral plate with support, and inserted one 2.7-mm locking screw through the support in the lateral-to-medial direction, creating interdigitation of the distal screws. A 0–200?N axial load was applied separately to the radial and ulnar columns. We calculated the stiffness of both columns, and the anterior displacement of the condylar fragment. We compared the biomechanical properties of orthogonal plating with versus without interdigitation.

Results

There were no significant differences between the two groups in radial or ulnar axial compression. The ulnar column was stiffer than the radial column in both groups. There were no significant differences between groups in the angular displacements of the capitellum or trochlea. The capitellum moved more anteriorly than the trochlea during axial compression in both groups.

Discussion

The radial and ulnar columns were linked via interdigitation of the distal screws by adding one transcondylar screw from the dorsolateral plate, which did not affect radial column stiffness or capitellar anterior movement under axial compression. In the orthogonal configuration, axial compression induced more anterior displacement of the capitellum than the trochlea, which may induce secondary fragment or screw dislocation on the dorsolateral plate or nonunion at the supracondylar level.

Conclusions

The transcondylar screw from the dorsolateral plate did not affect axial compression of the radial column or capitellar anterior displacement.  相似文献

Background

This study reports the outcome of a plating system for arthrodesis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (1st MTPJ) that incorporates a lag compression screw within a low profile titanium plate with a predetermined contour. This is the first report of the outcomes of this implant from a non-affiliated centre.

Patient and methods

This is a prospective cohort study of 40 consecutive primary 1st MTPJ arthrodesis procedures. The mean age of the cohort was 56 years (range, 20–74 years). The diagnosis was hallux rigidus in 31 patients and inflammatory arthropathy in 7 patients.

Results

All patients achieved clinical union at 6 weeks and radiological union was confirmed on plain radiographs between 6–16 weeks. One case of hardware removal was reported.

Conclusion

The cohort achieved consistently satisfactory results with a reliable and reproducible MTPJ position and a 100% union rate. There was a low rate of hardware removal.

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

Purpose

This work presents our contribution to one of the data challenges organized by the French Radiology Society during the Journées Francophones de Radiologie. This challenge consisted in segmenting the kidney cortex from coronal computed tomography (CT) images, cropped around the cortex.

Materials and methods

We chose to train an ensemble of fully-convolutional networks and to aggregate their prediction at test time to perform the segmentation. An image database was made available in 3 batches. A first training batch of 250 images with segmentation masks was provided by the challenge organizers one month before the conference. An additional training batch of 247 pairs was shared when the conference began. Participants were ranked using a Dice score.

Results

The segmentation results of our algorithm match the renal cortex with a good precision. Our strategy yielded a Dice score of 0.867, ranking us first in the data challenge.

Conclusion

The proposed solution provides robust and accurate automatic segmentations of the renal cortex in CT images although the precision of the provided reference segmentations seemed to set a low upper bound on the numerical performance. However, this process should be applied in 3D to quantify the renal cortex volume, which would require a marked labelling effort to train the networks.  相似文献

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

Background

Few methods have been described for measuring hindfoot alignment from an anteroposterior view. The objective of this study was to compare two methods of angular measurement based on the views of Meary and Saltzman.

Methods

Thirty asymptomatic volunteers were included. Four radiographs were performed: the views of Meary and Saltzman with parallel feet and with the Fick correction. The reproducibility was determined by the inter- and intraobserver variability (ICC).

Results

Meary’s method revealed a mean valgus angulation of 3.9° (SD 3.47°). The reliability was extremely variable with a mean ICC of 0.59. The best reproducibility was obtained with Meary’s method with and without Fick correction.

Conclusion

The results of this study show that the reliability of the angular measurements depends on the radiographic view and measurement method chosen. The lateral Fick correction did not counteract the influence of tibial rotation. The same method should be used consistently.  相似文献

Purpose

To assess the visibility of both the anterolateral ligament (ALL) and the deep structures of the iliotibial tract (ITT) by means of MRI in paediatric patients. To determine reproducibility for such measurements.

Methods

Knee MRI data from patients aged <18a without lesions of the capsule or ligaments, fractures, bone edemas, foreign material or motion artifacts were analyzed by two musculoskeletal radiologists separately and twice. The visibility of the different parts of the ALL was determined (femoral, meniscal, tibial parts). Similarly, the visibility of the different parts of the deep ITT was determined: deep attachments of the ITT to the distal femur (insertion near septum, supracondylar insertion and retrograde insertion) and capsulo-osseous layer of the ITT.

Results

We studied 61 cases (36 female, 25 male). Age was 15 years (±2.3). Interobserver agreement was high. Cohen’s Kappa was 0.864 (95%CI: 0.715–1.000) for the tibial part of the ALL and 1.0 for the femoral part of the ALL. For the deep attachments of the ITT to the distal femur Kappa was 0.828 (95%CI: 0.685–0.971). Regarding intraobserver agreement, Cohen’s Kappa was 1.0 for the femoral part of the ALL and 0.955 (95%CI: 0.867–1.000) for the tibial part of the ALL. For the deep attachments of the ITT to the distal femur Cohen’s Kappa was 0.896 (95%CI: 0.782–1.000).

Conclusion

On the basis of our findings it is concluded that the presence of the anterolateral structures of the knee can be determined by MRI in a pediatric population with substantial inter- and intraobserver agreement. This is true for both the ALL and the deep structures of the ITT.

Introduction

Acute lateral patellar dislocation is a very common condition in orthopedics, especially among adolescents and physically active patients. To evaluate distinct medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury patterns and the associated knee pathology after acute lateral patellar dislocation (ALPD) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies, which is essential for the development of treatment protocols.

Materials and Methods

MRI images of 74 ALPD patients were taken between January 2015 to December 2016. Images were evaluated using standardized protocols.

Results

The prevalence of MPFL injury following ALPD was 97.3% (72/74 patients). Among the 72 patients with MPFL, the prevalence of Type Ⅰ injury was 26.4% (19/72). Since only bone marrow edema and a partial tear were showed on MRI of these patients, conservative treatment was given. Tear of the MPFL occurred at the patellar attachment (Type Ⅱa) in 16 patients (16/72, 22.2%), at the middle area of the ligament (Type Ⅱb) in 5 patients (5/72, 6.9%), and at the femoral attachment (Type Ⅱc) in 27 patients (27/72, 37.5%). For Type Ⅱ injuries, all patients had the surgery to reconstruct the MPFL. The prevalence of Type Ⅲ MPFL injury was 6.9% (5/72) after the surgery.

Conclusion

MPFL injury of is a common sequel following ALPD. We assessed the distinct injury pattern and associated pathology of MPFL using MRI studies. A good understanding of the injury pattern and associated knee pathology of MPFL is essential in managing patients with ALPD, especially if surgical intervention is considered.  相似文献

Introduction

Hip fracture surgery is associated with a considerable amount medical and surgical complications, which adversely impacts the patient’s outcome and/or increases costs. We evaluated what risk factors were associated with the occurrence of early readmission due to surgical complications after hip fracture surgery.

Material and methods

A nationwide database with 68,800 hip fracture patients treated between 1999 and 2011 was studied to uncover the association of readmissions with co-morbidities, fracture types, different hospital types and treatment methods using the Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

Early readmission within three months due to hip fracture surgery complications occurred at a rate of 4.6%. Increased occurrence of readmission was found among patients with: heavy alcoholism (HR 1.38; 95% CI: 1.23–1.53); Parkinson’s disease (PD; HR 1.22; 95% CI: 1.05–1.42); pre-existing osteoarthritis (HR 2.02; 95% CI: 1.83–2.23); rheumatic disease (HR 1.44; 95% CI: 1.27–1.65); as well as those with a fracture of the femur neck, depression, presence of a psychotic disorder, an operative delay of at least three days, or previous treatment with total hip arthroplasty.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that there are several factors associated with an increased risk of early readmission. We suggest that in the presence of these factors, the surgical treatment method and postoperative protocol should be carefully planned and performed.  相似文献

Introduction

Horse racing is a hazardous sport. We analyzed the incidence and characteristics of jockey injuries in a typical horse race.

Methods

We analyzed all injuries sustained by 224 jockeys in the last 72 years.

Results

It was found that in 96.1% of the races there was at least one fall and in 28.6% of the races 50% or more of the jockeys fell. In 43.4% of the falls, the jockey was taken to the emergency room. Comparing the Palio with traditional races in other countries, a higher injury incidence rate was observed for every 100 falls (109.884 vs 27–59) and a lower concussion rate/100 falls (0.97 vs 1.8-7.4).

Conclusion

The Palio is one of the most threatening races that continues today. Jockeys are at greater risk for a fall than any other race in the world.  相似文献

Introduction

Hip surgery is a major surgery that causes severe postoperative pain. Although pain during rest is usually considerably reduced mobilization is important in terms of thromboembolic complications. The quadratus lumborum block is a regional analgesic technique that blocks T6‐L3 nerve branches. This block may provide adequate analgesia and reduce opioid consumption after hip surgery.

Case report

We performed continuous quadratus lumborum type 3 block in two patients who underwent hip arthroplasty. Postoperative 24‐h pain scores, local anesthetic consumptions on patient‐controlled analgesia and additional analgesic requirement were recorded. In two patients, postoperative pain scores were less than 6 during rest and physiotherapy. Patient was mobilized in the early postoperative period without additional opioid analgesic requirement and without muscle weakness.

Discussion

Continuous quadratus lumborum block may be used to relieve postoperative acute pain in hip surgery because it provides one‐sided anesthesia without muscle weakness.  相似文献

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
