Abstract:
BACKGROUND:K-wire and steel wire tension band wiring is the most commonly method for the treatment of patel ar fracture. However, there have been many reports of complications related to the mental implants. Based on the reasons above, some scholars begin to replace the steel wire with braided polyester sutures for the treatment of patel ar fracture. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of patel ar ring pins and FiberWire braided polyblend sutures tension band fixation for treatment of patel ar fracture. METHODS:We performed a retrospective analysis involving 26 patients with patel ar fracture (16 males, 10 females, at the age of 36-54 years with a mean age of 44.6 years) who were treated with patel ar ring pins and FiberWire braided polyblend sutures tension band fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up for 6-18 months, average of 12 months. Al patients were primary healing and achieved bone union in 8-16 weeks, averaged in 12 weeks from surgery. There was no fracture fragment displacement, internal fixation loosening and break. No pins protruding from the subcutaneous and irritate the skin. According to the Lysholm&Gil quist scales, 18 cases were excellent, four cases were good, and four cases were fair, with the excellent and good rate of 85%. Tension band fixation using patel ar ring pins and FiberWire braided polyblend sutures resulted in good outcomes with few complications.
