Biomechanical testing of a novel osteosynthesis plate for the ulnar coronoid process

Abstract

Osteosynthesis of the coronoid process using the novel plate is mechanically similar to the mini L-plate. Both plates were superior to osteosynthesis with cannulated screws.

No neurovascular damage after creation of an accessory anteromedial portal for arthroscopic reduction and fixation of coronoid fractures

“…Subsequently, O’Driscoll introduced a more comprehensive coronoid fracture classification that emphasizes the importance of the anteromedial facet [19]. The role of the CP in maintaining elbow stability is crucial [3, 5, 6, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25]. For this reason, CP reduction and fixation is indicated in every case of CP fracture associated with elbow instability, either deriving from massive bone loss (Regan–Morrey type III fractures) or from combined osseous and ligamentous injuries [8, 10, 13, 26].…”

Neue Operationsverfahren am Ellenbogen

“…Zum einen sind die Platten mit 1,6 mm deutlich dünner als andere Plattensysteme. Trotz des dünnen Plattendesigns ist ihre Sta- [22]. Klinische Ergebnisse liegen hierzu noch nicht vor.…”
