Fixator-related complications encountered were six pintract infections, one redisclocation, one joint incongruency, one muscle hernia, and one hardware failure. The median range of motion at the end of follow-up was 140掳 flexion, 15掳 constraint in extension, 90掳 pronation, and 80掳 ...
(Fig. 65.4). At this point in time the graft can be whipstitched however desired. Then with the use of a closed tendon stripper, the distal portion of the graft is harvested (Fig. 65.5). Muscle tissue may have to be cleaned from the proximal portion of the graft before inserting the ...

Identifying the elbow flexion-extension (F-E) movement axis is important for placing a hinged elbow external fixator. An X-ray fluoroscopy-based method is widely used in clinical practice, exposing the patient and surgeons to high doses of radiation. Additionally, the accuracy and repeatability ...
