Free-hand versus novel specialised jig guidance for the passing of intramedullary wires in olecranon fracture fixation: A comparative study
چکیده انگلیسی

The treatment of olecranon fractures frequently involves the use of tension-band fixation. Although associated with high union rates, this method has a high incidence of morbidity associated with soft tissue compromise and limitation of range of movement requiring frequent re-operation for removal of metal.We describe the use of a simple jig to ensure intramedullary placement of longitudinal K-wires and compare the accuracy of placement of Kirschner (K)-wires using this device with the traditional free-hand method.We found the distance from the centre of the medullary canal, the range and standard deviations of K-wire positions to be significantly more precise when the jig was used. This has applications for the use of the device, both with standard metallic radio-opaque wires and potentially with bio-absorbable pins.
