The Application of the Micro Titanium Plate and the Double-head Hollow Compression Screw in Internal Fixation of MasonⅢRadial Head Fractures
Abstract：Objective:To explore the advantages of the micro titanium plate and the double-head hollow compression screw in internal fixation of MasonⅢradial head fractures.Method:From March 2008 to May 2013,55 cases of MasonⅢradial head fracture were treated with the Micro locking titanium plate and the double-head hollow compression screw. The outcomes were assessed in regard of range of motion and the Broberg and Morrey elbow performance score system. Result:All the fractures healed,the healing time of 8-15 weeks,an average of 10.2 weeks;no necrosis radial head;operation time 64-108 minutes,mean 80.2 minutes;patients were followed up for 6-48 months,an average of 24.6 months.Elbow flexion 125°-135°,an average of 132.2°;Straight 0°,forearm pronation 73°-90°,an average of 85.4°;Spin after 70°-90°;an average of 81.2°. Broberg and Morrey elbow score averaged 91.6 points,the result were excellent in 24 cases,good in 23 cases,common in 8 case,the excellent and good rate was 85.5%.Conclusion:Treatment of Mason type Ⅲradial head fractures by internal fixation with the Micro locking titanium plate and the double-head hollow compression screw is a practical method with the advantages of rigid fixation,early exercise,favorable to the healing of the fracture,better elbow function,less complication.
