Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the long-term clinical results of Herbert screw in the treatment of intra-articular fractures by retrospective analysis.[Method]From 1991 to 2006,fifty-five patients of different parts of intra-articular fracture treated with Herbert screw were followed up effectively,including scaphoid fracture group of 19 cases,the radial head fracture group of 25 cases,the femoral head fracture group of 11 cases.[Result]After an average follow-up time of 5 years and 11 months(ranged,1-13 years),the good-to-excellent rates were 94.7%,96%,72.7% according to the modified Mayo score,the Broberg-Morrey score and the Tompson-Epstein score.[Conclusion]The Herbert screw can provide strong fixation and stability in the long-term follow-up.It is an ideal material in treating intra-articular fractures.
