Description
The use of biological cement with provisory closed percutaneous Kirschner wire (K-wire) Wxation enabled the treatment of 12 patients with fractures. Within the period November 2010—February 2011, we have treated at Saint Pantelimon Emergency Orthopaedics Clinic 12 patients using this speciWc method, namely: 8 humeral fractures, 1 distal radial fracture, 1 distal radial fracture associated with carpal scaphoid fracture, 1 ankle fracture, and a delayed union of distal tibial fracture. In the specialized literature, the use of bone substitutes or of biological bone cement has never been described in the treatment of fractures without the opening of the fracture site. Some bone Wllers for bone defects have been injected before, together with osteosynthesis means, plates and screws, respectively. The assessment of the results has to take into account the consolidation range of each type of fracture, and the cast Wxation must be extended accordingly. The recovery shall depend upon the fracture’s callus biology, the fracture’s type and location as well as the age of the patient. We evaluate the results after clinical and radiological criteria. Consolidation was achieved in all cases. We will present also the complications related to Wrst use of this new method. The use of Kryptonite-X injected under Xuoroscopic control in the conservative treatment of the fractures is a novelty. Thus, it is introduced the perspective of an innovative way of treating the fractures. Consolidation was achieved in all cases.
