Olecranon screw for skeletal traction of the humerus
Abstract An improved olecranon screw is described for skeletal traction of the humerus, particularly in supracondylar fractures. The simplicity of insertion of the screw is described.
Background ::: The optimal post-operative care regimen after surgically fixed Lauge Hansen supination exorotation injuries remains to be established. This study compares whether unprotected weight bearing as tolerated is superior to protected weight bearing and unprotected non-weight bearing in terms of functional outcome and safety.
