Abstract:
The management of transarticular fractures is still a difficult clinical problem. Owing to the shape memory effect and its special design,the shape memory com- pression staple could fulfill nearly all the special treatment requirement of the trans- articular fractures.Early bone union and 93.5% satisfactory function restoration were obtained in the series of 121 cases.Stable fixation,early functional exercise and continuous compressive force produced by the staple are the mainofactors contri- buted to the good results.
