Notes and illustrations

Because of the deep position of the scaphoid, scaphoid fracture fixation traditionally requires fairly wide surgical exposure. A variety of volar, dorsal and radial exposures have been described. Wide exposure has the disadvantages of creation of a wide zone of scar tissue as well as possibly disrupting existing circulation...

Fractures of the proximal part of the proximal phalanx are often unstable and angulate dorsally. Longitudinal percutaneous fixation may not provide adequate purchase on the proximal fracture fragment. These intraoperative flouroscopy images show a method of increasing stability of percutaneous fixation in a malaligned three week old fracture by placing...

Case presentation and images

One of the problems with scaphoid fractures is ischemia of the proximal fracture fragment resulting in delayed union, nonunion or irretrievable avascular necrosis. In this case, ischemic changes involving the entire scaphoid are documented following a scaphoid fracture due to minimal trauma. This progressed with cystic changes and AVN on...

Unicondylar fractures of the phalangeal head are common, frequently unstable and unacceptably displaced. Although some may be treated successfully with percutaneous reduction and fixation, many require open reduction.
