Objective To treat radial head fractures with open reduction and internal fixation, removal of the radial head and artificial joint replacement based on different fracture types to discuss the outcome of these methods and summarize optimal strategy for treatment of radial head fractures. Meth-ods A retrospective study was done on data of 47 patients with 48 radial head fractures treated in our de-partment from November 1999 to May 2008. Among them, nine patients were treated conservatively (all type Mason Ⅰ fractures), 28 treated with open reduction and internal fixation (one patient with type Ma-son Ⅰ fracture, 14 with type Mason Ⅱ and 13 with type Mason Ⅲ), eight with removal of radial head (three patients with type Mason Ⅲ fractures and five with type Ⅳ) and three with artificial joint replace-ment (all type Mason Ⅳ fractures). Results All patients were followed up for average 2.8 years (1-4.4 years). Two patients treated with artificial joint replacement were followed up for six months and three months respectively. According to the Mayo Elbow Performance Index, the excellence rate was 8/9 in conservative treatment, 82% (23/28) in open reduction and internal fixation, 6/8 in removal of the radial head and 3/3 in artificial joint replacement respectively. Conclusions The radial head fracture should be given anatomical reduction for early functional exercise. Conservative treatment can be used for type Mason Ⅰ fractures, open reduction and internal fixation for type Mason Ⅱ , type Mason Ⅲ fractures and part of type Mason Ⅳ fractures. The removal of radial head or mental prosthesis replacement are al-ternative for parte of type Mason Ⅳ fractures that can not attain stable fixation through open reduction and internal fixation. 相似文献

Methods From October 2007 to June 2008,ETN was performed in 13 patients with distal tibial fractures. There were eight males and five females, at age range of 25-47 years (33.8 on average). According to AO/ASIF classification, there were three patients with 43-A1 fractures, four with 43-B1 fractures, four with 43-B2 fractures and two with 43-C1 fractures. All the patients were with close fractures except for three patients with Gustilo-Anderson type Ⅰ fractures. Their clinical data were analyzed for assessing the clinical effect of ETN. Results All patients were followed up for a mean time of 8.4 months (range 3-13 months), which showed that all the fractures obtained stable fixation and sound healing, with no complications like breakage of ETN, wound infection, fracture nonunion or limb shortening. According to Johner-Wruhs standard, the functional results were excellent in 10 patients and good in three. Conclusion ETN has advantages of minimal invasion, shorter operation time, stronger fixation,better soft tissue protection and better functional recovery for distal tibial fractures in comparison with traditional open reduction and buttress plate fixation. 相似文献
