Epub 2020 Jan 15. Almost all the surgical techniques noted above using open surgeries which typically require a fairly large incision and the small fracture fragment may slide into the posterior compartment of the elbow. Using arthroscopy can help obtain intra-articular control of fracture reduction which enables perfect visualization to prevent damage to the capsules and protect the blood supply. OâDriscoll [7, 13] and Doornberg and Ring [15] reported that the elbow joint instability may result from a small fracture, such as Regan and Morrey types I and II or OâDriscoll types I and II fractures. With type II or type III comminuted fractures not amenable to screw or 2004;86-A(6):1122â30. Subtype I fracture was usually associated with posterior elbow dislocation injury, whereas subtype II and subtype III fractures were associated with varus subluxation. Article The elbow joint was then checked according to the ISAKOS (The International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine) classification [14]. However, the deep intra-articular location of the CP makes an approach by open surgery as well as reduction difficult. However, the types I and II fractures may often be ignored by treatment which makes the outcome more difficult to predict than type III fractures. The outpatients were regularly reviewed to assess the overall function of their elbow joint, based on the Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS) scoring system [3], considering factors such as pain (45 points), range of motion (20 points), stability (10 points), daily function (25 points), and so on, with â¥90 points scored as A, 75â89 points scored as B, 60â74 points scored as C, and â¤60 points scored as D. X-ray examinations conducted at the time of surgery showed that all fractures were anatomically reduced. Moreover, it protects the surrounding soft tissue, shows good stability of the components, and allows early rehabilitation exercises. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000012041. In our study, none of the patients got comminuted ulna fractures and were complicated with radial fractures in which arthroplasty, open reduction, or internal fixation of radial fractures were not needed. J Hand Surg Am. PubMed 1989;71(9):1348â54. There are several ways to treat the radial head and coronoid fractures; controversy still exists regarding the best way to treat each. Intra- and postoperative X-ray examination showed that the fractures were satisfactorily fixed and that the screw and fracture line were vertical to each other. J Hand Surg Am. Posterolateral rotatory instability of the elbow. With the fracture accurately reduced, the wire was inserted vertical to the posterior cortex of the bone fragment. Medial oblique compression fracture of the coronoid process of the ulna. 7-10 and 7-11). Garofalo R, Bollmann C, Kombot C, et al. Also, the damage to the integrity of the anterior capsule would cause losing the function as the stabilizing structure. According to Regan and Morrey classification [6], coronoid process fracture can be divided into three types including type I tip fracture, type II with fracture of 50% or less of height, and type III with fracture of more than 50% of height. Minimal invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis for complex monteggia fracture with type III coronoid process fracture. Insertion torque, load to failure, and stiffness were measured under axial load with a material testing machine. JYX and LQP collected the research data and made the statistical analysis. Once the coronoid fracture was exposed, preliminary reduction with K-wires was performed and checked on fluoroscopy, followed by definitive fixation with a 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm T-plate as a buttress plate and augmented with headless compression screws if the fracture pattern allowed.

Intra- and postoperative X-ray examination showed that the fractures were satisfactorily fixed and that the screw and fracture line were vertical to each other. Different surgical techniques have been described: suture lasso, screws, plates, and tension band wiring with steel wire (an original internal fixation technique by tension band wiring with steel wire in fractures of the coronoid process). 2011;93(20):1873â81. 2002;122(3):184â5. Arthroscopy using an exchange rod can provide excellent visual exposure of the fractured joints, without the need for a large incision during the anatomical repair. Eleven pairs of fresh-frozen cadaveric ulna were used. Oper Orthop Traumatol. The dataset supporting the conclusions of this article is available at our institution. Isolated type IIIA fracture of the coronoid process of ulna. Cookies policy. Insertion torque, load to failure, and stiffness were measured under axial load with a material testing machine. aâh Exchange rod arthroscopic techniques for the reduction and fixation of fracture of the ulnar coronoid process: clean fracture surface, fracture reduction (a, b); exchange rod technique for midline approach (c, d); Kirschner wire pierced vertical to the bone (e, f); and screwed into the hollow screw (g, h). O'Driscoll SW, Jupiter JB, Cohen MS, et al. [Plate osteosynthesis of the coronoid process of the ulna]. 7-9). Conclusions: A 10-mm incision was made transverse to the surface of the bicep tendon, avoiding the cephalic vein by bluntly dissecting clear down to the bicep tendon surfaces. There were 26 male and 13 female patients. All five patients showed an MEPS score of A. a X-ray of a 32-year-old male patient shows fracture of the ulnar coronoid process (Regan and Morrey type II). The fractures in all five patients had healed well. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Han SH, Yoon HK, Rhee SY, et al. As the coronoid process is deep to the common flexor origin, exposure from medial side is difficult and limited. Large anteromedial facet fractures can be secured with precontoured or T-plates in a buttress fashion [8, 12]. 1). 1, 2, 3 The treatment of fracture-dislocations requires attention to the coronoid, radial head, and lateral collateral ligament. It is believed that these fractures generally require open reduction and internal fixation in order to avoid recurrent elbow instability. However, arthroscopy can make accurate positioning of the wire and insertion of the screw easier [23]. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! After treatment, the elbow was kept immobilized in a plaster for 2â3 days, followed by encouraging gentle active movements, avoiding violent massage to prevent the occurrence of myositis ossificans. c Biceps tendon. When the elbow joint is bent, the tension on the peripheral nerves, blood vessels, and tendons is reduced and the biceps tendon can be pulled slightly inside to expose the surface of the coronoid process. Larger fragments can be fixed by screws as necessary with cannulated or non-cannulated screws. Rausch V, Hackl M, Seybold D, Wegmann K, Müller LP. with 12 excellent cases and 4 good cases.Coronoid process fractures of the ulna can be treated successfully with plate fixation through an anterior surgical approach, which allows for accurate reduction and rigid internal fixation and early functional exercise, resulting in a reasonable outcome. California Privacy Statement, The combination of small fracture fragment comminution and soft tissue stripping may result in insufficient fixation and residual instability. CT and MR imaging aimed to check the degree of instability for posterolateral and posteromedial rotation. Anterior approach for fixation of isolated type III coronoid process fracture. Bong MR, Romero A, Kubiak E, Iesaka K, Heywood CS, Kummer F, Rosen J, Jazrawi L. Arthroscopy. KOY and DPW carried out this project and guided the research. Coronoid fracture is fixed first through the lateral approach followed by radial head and ligament repair. Arthroscopic reduction and fixation of coronoid fractures with an exchange rodâa new technique. Physical therapy following coronoid fracture fixation is usually surgeon dependent and is variable. Exchange rod technology via the elbow front center approach was used for reduction and fixation of fractures of the coronoid process of the ulna. Article 2013;23(4):395â405. 2006 Dec;31(10):1679-89. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2006.08.020. 2008;466(12):3147â52. According to the Regan and Morrey fracture classification and OâDriscollâs classification, two and four patients were classified as type I and type II and as having tip fracture (OâDriscoll type I) and anteromedial fracture (OâDriscoll type II), respectively. In total, six patients (four males and two females) with an average age of 26.6 (ranged from 19 to 34) years were recruited; two patients had a fracture of the left ulna while four patients had a fracture of the right ulna. In awake as well as anesthetized patients, humero-ulnar instability between 25° elbow extension and full extension was observed. Fixation of a 50% transverse coronoid fracture improves varus and internal rotatory laxity but is unlikely to meaningfully improve valgus or external rotation laxity. A case report and brief review of literature. A 0.045 or 0.062 K-wire stabilizes the fracture (Fig. The patients gave their oral and written informed consent to the publication of their anonymous and clustered data and anonymous pictures. [Study advancement of anatomy and biomechanics of posterior three type screw fixation techniques of axial]. At present, the consensus is to stabilize all fractures of the CP associated with elbow instability [8]. Acta Orthop. It has been believed that only type III fractures require open reduction and internal fixation to improve elbow instability [9]. Because of this, the development of late complications such as posttraumatic arthritis or implant failure would not be assessed. 2009;23(4):277â80. Five patients were followed up for an average of 11 (range, 7â24) months; one patient was lost to follow-up (Table 1). Reconstruction for elbow instability caused by congenital aplasia of the ulnar coronoid processâa case report. Methods: A retrospective chart review performed at three tertiary care centers identified forty consecutive patients treated for terrible triad injuries of the elbow with a minimum follow-up of eighteen months (mean, twenty-four months; range, … The entry points to the elbow were marked before inflating the tourniquet to 250 mmHg. Arrigoni P, Cucchi D, Guerra E, Luceri F, Nicoletti S, Menon A, Randelli P. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. Fixation principles according to fracture type. No problems related to pronation or supination, elbow instability, or complications of blood vessels or nerves were reported. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. Subsequently, the arthroscopy was introduced via the proximal, anteromedial, and lateral approaches, and the soft tissue around the fracture block was cleared, separating it from the outer tissues. 2004;20(4):443â53. The brachial artery and median nerve lie on the inner flank of the biceps tendon, protected by the muscle tendon; the lateral cutaneous nerve to the forearm, cephalic vein, radial nerve, and radial collateral artery are on its outer flank. Transverse fractures (Mayo type I) of the coronoid tip … The coronoid fracture in our case was classified as a type I fracture, which is a transverse fracture of the coronoid tip. J Orthop Trauma. The goal of treatment is to obtain a stable, pain-free, and functional elbow. Methods. PA screw placement yielded greater strength and stiffness of fixation than did AP placement. Standard surgical protocol to treat elbow dislocations with radial head and coronoid fractures. d Elbow median neurovascular bundle (brachial artery, median nerve). 2016;25(8):1268â73. They are easily located and are pulled outside for protection. Ouyang K, Wang D, Lu W, Xiong J, Xu J, Peng L, Liu H, Li H, Feng W. J Orthop Surg Res. Fluoroscopy was then used to confirm the adequate placement of hardware was well as the adequate reduction of the coronoid in 2 different views. Shoulder Elbow. After blunt dissection with the index finger, the exchange rod technique is used to further reduce the risk of neurovascular injury. Methods: volume 12, Article number: 9 (2017) Although basal coronoid fractures are larger with likely greater joint incongruity than with other coronoid fractures, the injury to the soft tissues is often less, and they can have relatively good prognoses with anatomic fixation and early motion 8. Hence, treatment of coronoid process fractures are challenging for surgeons. Smaller fractures associated with the “terrible triad” or varus posteromedial instability can be stabilized by “lasso-type” sutures through proximal ulnar drill holes or suture anchors both incorporating the fragment’scapsular attachment. Springer Nature. Some studies have reported that the Kirschner wire is introduced from the rear of the elbow, and, similarly, the screw is introduced into the hollow nail to fix the fractures [22]. The anterior area of the elbow is rich in blood vessels and nerves; however, the area that is close to the outer flank of the biceps tendon is relatively safe (Fig. 6). David Tuckman, M.D. Farr S, Rois J, Ganger R, et al. The lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm was carefully protected and tracted laterally with the skin and subcutaneous tissue. A Kirschner wire of 1.5 mm diameter was then passed through this cannula into the joint. As is known, type III fractures can cause severe elbow instability; moreover, based on the extent of the bone injury rather than ligament injury, the surgeons usually opt for the safer and more reliable open fixation [7, 15, 20]. Calcaneal Fracture ORIF with Lateral Approach, Plate Fixation, and Locking Screws RETIRE Transtibial Below the Knee Amputation (BKA) Coronoid Fractures Pathway Updated: 10/4/2016 PubMed Central 2005 Oct;21(10):1172-6. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2005.06.019. 2 , 9 , 10 , 11 KOY, DPW, HFL, HL, JX, and WZF contributed to the follow-up of the patients and wrote the manuscript. Further, MR imaging could assess the integrity of the medial or lateral collateral ligament. After fixation, the extension and flexion of the joint was checked to assess the stability of fixation, particularly when it was under the valgus stress. aâc CT scan of a 32-year-old male patient shows fracture of the ulnar coronoid process (Regan and Morrey type II). 2017 Jan 18;12(1):9. doi: 10.1186/s13018-016-0505-8. According to the Regan and Morrey [6] fracture classification, two patients were classified as type I, and four patients were classified as type II. This video show the approach and fixation of an anteromedial facet fracture of the coronoid using a Medartis plate. During the arthroscopy, the anatomic factors are of importance to consider. Medicine (Baltimore). At the end of the follow-up, all patients were able to completely bend their elbow. Therefore, prompt anatomical reduction is recommended. Butler DP, Alsousou J, Keys R.

All patients underwent preoperative X-ray examination, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of their elbow for assessment (Fig. 1). The specimens were randomized to screw fixation or suture lasso fixation. Damage to the coronoid process in addition to other elbow structures may complicate treatment. J Shoulder Elbow Surg. 2020 Feb;32(1):35-46. doi: 10.1007/s00064-019-00647-6. Under arthroscopy, the external rotation shift and the width of the brachial, ulnar, or medial artery or the subluxation of the humeral bone and caput radii were tested. The ulnar coronoid process (CP) plays a central role in maintaining elbow stability [1â4]. Google ScholarÂ. The ulnar coronoid process plays a central role in maintaining elbow stability. These differences were statistically significant despite the fact that the screw insertion torques was similar in PA screw (0.27 Nm) and AP screw (0.25 Nm) (P = 0.2). To the editor: On "Optimal screw orientation for fixation of coronoid fractures". J Shoulder Elbow Surg. J Bone Joint Surg Am. Highly comminuted type 3 fractures pose a significant problem during open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and may be better treated with a hinged external fixator. Four patients could extend their elbow completely, while one patient could not fully extend his elbow, with a shortfall of 10°. With the index finger still in situ, a blunt exchange rod measuring about 3 mm in diameter was introduced along the pulp of the index finger, through the anterior capsule. From January 2012 to December 2013, six patients (four males, two females) with a mean age of 26.6 years were treated. The tourniquet was released. The elbows showed excellent results according to the Mayo Elbow Performance Score. NLM Treatment should be begun as early as possible and be associated with early rehabilitation and short lasting immobilization. The comminuted coronoid fracture was seen and reduced with pins. Follow-ups showed that the fractures had healed well, and the average elbow extension was â2° while the average flexion was 140°. Kiene J, Bogun J, Brockhaus N, et al. They often occur in association with elbow dislocations and play an important role in elbow instability. 2005;14(1):60â4. Doornberg JN, Ring D. Coronoid fracture patterns. Arthroscopically assisted coronoid fracture fixation: a preliminary report. statement and fixation of the coronoid fracture leads to fewer complications and improved outcomes compared with screw or suture anchor fixation techniques. The radial nerve and radial collateral artery lie between the brachial muscle and the brachioradialis muscle; however, in our approach, the incision is made well away from them, so they are not likely to be damaged. The radial head, on the other hand, is a stabilizer to resist valgus stress regardless of the status of the coronoid. Fractures of the coronoid process of the ulna. Regan and Morrey [6] classified fractures based on the fragment size, with type III fracture accounting for more than 50% of the coronoid process fractures. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Shenzhen University, which was performed in accordance with the ethical standards of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki as revised in 2000. Epub 2018 Apr 2. Manage cookies/Do not sell my data we use in the preference centre. The specimens of a pair were then randomized to be fixed with an AP screw in one specimen and a PA screw in the other. Comminuted fractures and fracture-dislocations are treated with dorsal contoured plate and screw fixation. A 3.9 cannulated screw was then used to secure the coronoid onto the proximal ulna. The mean load to failure was 184 N in the PA screw group and 131 N in the AP screw group (P < 0.05).

Difficult elbow fractures: pearls and pitfalls. The patient was laid in a supine position on the operating table, with the upper limb, the elbow, and the upper limb flexed forward to 90° and the forearm flexed to nearly 30°. Objective: This study described six patients in whom the exchange rod arthroscopic technique was effectively used for the reduction and fixation of fractures of the coronoid process of the ulna. 2012;43(7):989â98. The mean stiffness was 106 N/mm with PA screws and 76 N/mm with AP screws (P < 0.05). The instability always existed if there were obvious ligament tear and complex fractures observed from MRI or CT. METHODS:This retrospective study analyzed patients with complex elbow fracture-dislocations who underwent surgical fixation for coronoid fractures of the ulna from March 2009 to January 2016. The elbow is typically immobilized initially in a position of 90 degrees of flexion. b Lateral X-ray 6 weeks after the treatment shows no displacement of the fracture, aâc Six weeks postoperative CT scans showed no fracture displacement, aâd Images of a 32-year-old male patient with fracture of the ulnar coronoid process (Regan and Morrey type II) 1 year after treatment show normal elbow pronation (a) and supination (b) and flexion (c) and extension (d). 2004;278(2):514â9. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2018 Sep;97(36):e12041. J Shoulder Elbow Surg. However, our group of patients had sufficiently large fragments to allow screw fixation. If left untreated, varus posteromedial rotatory injuries of the elbow result in poor functional outcomes. The fingertip was used to separate and gradually reach the anterior capsule of the elbow joint. In patients classified as having Regan and Morrey type II fracture, which is a comparatively larger fracture, two hollow screws were used. 2019 Jan;27(1):314-318. doi: 10.1007/s00167-018-4926-2. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research Accurate anesthetization of the arm was ensured. 2015;24(1):74â82. Crista Supinatoris Fractures of the Proximal Part of the Ulna: Surgical Technique. Arthroscopy can help obtain intra-articular control of fracture reduction which enables perfect visualization to allow anatomical repair. 2014;6(3):191â9. The lateral cutaneous nerves to the forearm and cephalic vein are comparatively shallow, so the incision is made in the skin alone, and dissected carefully. Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol. A coronoid fracture was simulated by transverse osteotomy at the midpoint of coronoid height. However, in recent years, several researchers observed that types I and II fractures also need treatment because of the combined injury of bone and ligament [8â11]. J Bone Joint Surg Am. On the basis of our preliminary study, we speculate that fractures of the coronoid process of the ulna that do not require obvious open reduction surgery can be treated by arthroscopic reduction and fixation by using the exchange rod technology, which provides excellent visualization and allows a good anatomical repair without extensive dissection of soft tissue.
