Comparison by using torsional forces of different fixation techniques in the supracondylar fracture of humerus (An anatomic and biomechanical study in the cadaver model)

Abstract

In this study, we performed supracondylar fractures of humerus using adult human cadaver and measured distal fragment resistance to torsional forces by applying five different fixation techniques. These fixation configurations respectively medial and lateral crossed kirschner wires, two lateral parallel in addition third crossed medial kirschner wires, two lateral parallel kirschner wires, three lateral kirschner (two of them parallel), two lateral crossed kirschner wires designed. There after these models applying torsional forces, results are evaluated. The greatest resistance to torsional forces configurations that fixed two lateral parallel in addition third crossed medial kirschner wires was obtained. The maximum stability was provided by these models, the least resistance to rotational forces, configurations that fixed two lateral crossed kirschner wires was found.
