Therapeutic analysis of Herbert screw fixation for capitellar fractures via the anterior approach in adolescent patients
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research Jun 24, 2021
Ju L, Jiang L, Zhang Y, et al. - In order to analyze the efficacy of open reduction and Herbert screw fixation for coronal fractures of the capitellum via the anterior approach in adolescents, researchers herein retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging data of 15 adolescents with capitellar fractures that were reduced through the cubital crease incision via the anterior approach and were internally fixated with Herbert screws. Surgery was conducted on patients 3.7 days after injury on average. With satisfactory intraoperative fracture reduction, no vascular injury or nerve injury was identified. Overall, outcomes support that for the treatment of coronal fractures of the capitellum in adolescents, open reduction with Herbert screw fixation via the anterior approach is a feasible surgical method.
