Evaluation of the Functional, Clinical and Radiological Outcome and Complications of the Diaphyseal Fractures of Radius and Ulna in Adolescents Treated with Titanium Elastic Nail
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Education - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Intramedullary fixation with Titanium Elastic nail has become a favored stabilization technique for adolescent’s population as Shorter operative time, Decrease scarring and decreased operative dissection. Objective : Evaluate the functional clinical and radiological outcome and complications of the diaphyseal fractures of radius and ulna in adolescents treated with titanium elastic nail. Methodology: Hospital based Interventional, prospective study was conducted during March 2014 to Feb. 2015 at SMS Hospital Jaipur on patients 12-18years of age with 30 patients, with diaphyseal both forearm bone fr.actures. Indication: Open injury, unstable fracture pattern, Inability to achieve an acceptable reduction, loss of reduction. All fractures was be treated with flexible intramedullary nail fixation. Observations: In majority of cases no secondary procedure require, only 4 cases require SSG which was open injury Average blood loss was 51.66 % Out 30 patient 29 patient had radiological and clinical evidence of solid union& one ulna was completely undergo in nonunion. The minimum time taken for union was 8 to 12 weeks for radius in 83% and 10-14 weeks for ulna 68% of patients. Conclusion: The use of titanium elastic nail is the ideal implant in the management of Fractures both forearm bones in adolescents population.
