Effects of multi-block reconstructive plate on the treatment of complex tarsometatarsal joint injury / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of multi?plate reconstruction plate in the treatment of partial complex tarsometatarsal joint injury injuries. Methods Seven patients treated complex tarsometatarsal joint injuries with multi?plate reconstruction plate in Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from September 2014 to July 2016 were selected in this study. According to Myerson classification,3 cases were A type,3 cases were B type,1 case was C type. The therapeutic effects were observed. Results The patients were followed up for 6-12 months,with an average of (8. 6±2. 0) months. According to the foot scoring criteria in American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society ( AOFAS) ,the function of the foot was evaluated,3 cases were in excellent condition,4 cases were in good condition. Conclusion In the case of multiple metatarsal fractures of the metatarsal base involved in the joint surface, the use of multiple reconstructive plates for joint fixation reduces the iatrogenic damage of the joint surface. The fixation effect and the functional recovery are satisfactory
