Studies from Chungnam National University, Medical Department add new findings in the area of femoral fracture
2009 MAY 12 - (NewsRx.com) -- "The surgical reduction of distal femoral fractures with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis is difficult and the maintenance of the reduction can involve high exposures to radiation," researchers in South Korea report. "We designed an effective fracture reduction method involving a percutaneous temporal wiring technique for the reduction of distal femoral fractures with oblique or spiral fracture components during surgery with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis. Our method consistently reduced these fractures satisfactorily," wrote Y.M. Kim and colleagues, Chungnam National University, Medical Department. The researchers concluded: "The maintenance of reduction and plate fixation were easy with our method and the radiation exposure during the operation was reduced." Kim and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Trauma - Injury Infection and Critical Care (Percutaneous Temporal Wiring Method for Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis of Distal Femoral Fractures. Journal of Trauma - Injury Infection and Critical Care, 2009;66(3):938-941). For additional information, contact S.R.
