INTRAMEDULLARY REDUCTION AND STABILIZATION TO TREAT RADIALNECK FRACTURES IN ADULTS

Authors: Silvio Giannetti, Nicola Bizzotto, Andrea Stancati, Giuseppe Orlando, Attilio Santucci.

Abstract 

Isolated radial neck fractures are very rare and the majority can be treated conservatively. However, conservative treatment might result in malunion and/or secondary displacement. The open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is not free from complications such as screw or plate dislocation, failure of the implant and infections.

A middle way between the two approaches could be represented by the closed reduction technique using intramedullary stabilization. The purpose of this study is therefore to evaluate the functional outcome of radial neck fractures treated by intramedullary reduction and stabilization with k-wire.
