Report of 30 Cases of A Novel Absorbable Cone Nail in the Treatment of Comminuted Radial Head Fracture
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of a novel absorbable cone nail in the treatment of comminuted fracture of Schatzker-tile type Ⅲ radial head.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 30 patients with comminu-ted radial head fracture treated with a novel absorbable cone nail from January 2021 to June 2022.Results:All patients were followed up for 1 year.The Broberg-Morrey scores of 30 patients were(91.27±7.04)points,and the excellent rate was 90%.The range of motion of the elbow joint at 1 year after surgery was comparable to the normal value,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion:The novel absorbable cone nail internal fixation treat-ment for comminuted radial head fracture can preserve the autologous bone,have a high healing rate,good functional re-covery,no need for secondary surgery to remove the internal fixation,and has little trauma,which is worthy of promotion.
