| Popis: |
Osteochondral fractures are relatively uncommon injuries that typically present after an acute or subacute traumatic injury. Osteochondral fracture fixation is traditionally performed in the acute setting with internal fixation procedures using pins or compression screws through the fragment. Outcomes have generally been good, but cartilage thinning, subchondral remodeling, and tissue reactions can occur after internal fixation through the fragment. This article describes osteochondral fracture fragment fixation with a fragment-preserving technique that does not violate the articular cartilage of the fragment. This technique minimizes risk to articular cartilage that has already sustained injury and also provides superior fixation. |
