  • Sutures placed through the rotator cuff tendons and the bolts increase stability, and should be used as well as the nail and screws, particularly for more comminuted and/or osteoporotic fractures. (aofoundation.org)
  • In C-type fractures, the use of three or fewer articular screws was significantly associated with nonunion or loss of fixation (RR 17, p = 0.006). (sicot-j.org)
  • In certain cases, external fixation may be used in severe comminuted or open fractures. (teachmesurgery.com)
  • [ 9 ] Arundel et al suggest that clinical gestalt is sensitive for detecting fractures but that the clinical prediction rule increases specificity (identifying which adults do not need imaging), decreasing the number of negative radiographs. (medscape.com)
  • The clinical presentation of a supracondylar humerus fracture (SCHF) is that of a painful swollen elbow that the patient is hesitant to move. (medscape.com)
  • However, if your patient has a combination of a clear history of injury (pulling motion in or forced abduction/elevation in zero position), with a clear clinical examination (acromial step, palpable humeral head, intact AC joint, absence of bruising to upper arm) then you should be safe to attempt a technique that does not use traction, forced leveraging or torsion.

  • The majority of these fractures can be treated non-operatively with a high likelihood of an acceptable clinical outcome. (encyclopedia.pub)
  • While most simple, minimally or non-displaced fractures can be managed successfully with non-operative means, the more complex three- and four-part displaced fractures remain difficult to treat and have worse outcomes. (scielo.org.za)
  • Fractures which are displaced extending into articular surfaces definitely need operative management in form of plating, nailing and external fixator if it is compound in nature [3-8]. (medresearch.in)
