The staffordshire orthopaedic reduction machine in tibial plateau, shaft and pilon fractures
Orthopaedic Proceedings(2010)
摘要
Introduction: The Staffordshire Orthopaedic Reduction Machine (STORM) was developed to assist in the reduction of tibial shaft fractures prior to the application of an external fixator. Its use has now been extended to fractures of the tibial plateau and plafond, where it has been utilised to gain and hold a good reduction prior to the application of various internal and external fixation techniques.Methods: The STORM was used sterile within the operative field on a standard radiolucent operating table. It was applied with two tensioned 2 mm wires: the distal through the calcaneum; the proximal through the proximal tibia for shaft and pilon fractures, and through the distal femur for plateau fractures.Controlled traction was applied through these two wires. Torsion was independently corrected and locked. Translation and angulation was corrected using two translation arms each applied to the tibia with a single unicortical screw. The STORM was removed at the end of each operation.Results: The STORM was use...
