Treatment of Trapezoid Non-Union by Fixation with Headless Cannulated Screw and Autologous Bone Graft: A Rare Condition
Artikel in mehreren Sprachen: español | English
Abstract
Trapezoid non-union is an exceptional disease that happens when a trapezoid fracture is not treated in an acute setting. We present a clinical case of this rare condition diagnosed 8 months after the trauma, a motorcycle accident. Diagnosis was first established by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by computed tomography. Surgical treatment was carried out, consisting of refreshing of the non-union focus by a dorsal approach, fixation by a headless compression cannulated screw and application of autologous bone graft from the metaphysis of the distal radius. Complete healing was observed at 6 months. At 1 year follow-up, the patient presented excellent results in terms of pain, range of motion, satisfaction, and complete return to daily-life activities.
