ABSTRACT

Mallet fracture is an avulsion of the extensor tendon and fracture of the dorsal rim of the articular surface of distal phalanx at the same time. If a part of the mallet fracture is angled or rotated to such a degree that prevents full anatomic reduction, malunion and deformities may occur as a result. The objective of this study was to describe a new surgical technique to provide derotation of the mallet fracture. A 22G or 21G needle is used like a joystick to reduce the mallet fracture with small, gentle movements. The extension block pinning technique described by Ishiguro was applied after proper alignment had been achieved. Bony union was achieved for all patients 6 weeks later. Derotation of type 2 and 3 mallet pieces with closed reduction to prevent surgical failure is simple but effective.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional and radiological results of patients with and without medial calcar continuity in plate osteosynthesis applied for a proximal humerus fracture retrospectively. METHODS: The study included 27 patients to whom plate osteosynthesis was applied because of a proximal humerus fracture between January 2, 2010, and December 30, 2013, at Okmeydani Research and Training Hospital. Patients were separated into Group A with medial calcar continuity and Group B without medial calcar continuity. On the radiographs taken postoperatively and at the final follow-up examination, measurements were taken of the humeral head height and the humeral neck-shaft angle. The presence of avascular necrosis was recorded. RESULTS: The functional and radiological results of the patients were evaluated after a mean follow-up of 39.1 months. No statistically significant difference was determined between Groups A and B in respect of the postoperative and the final follow-up humeral head height (P > 0.05). No statistically significant difference was determined between Groups A and B in respect of the postoperative and the final follow-up humeral neck-shaft angle (P > 0.05). Plate breakage was seen in one patient without medial calcar continuity. Penetration of the screw into the joint was determined in one patient in Group A and three patients in Group B. No avascular necrosis or infection was seen in any patient. CONCLUSION: When the surgical process has not damaged the soft tissue and sufficient stability has been achieved, providing calcar continuity is not an absolute condition.
