Abstract
Angle stable interlocking intramedullary nail (ASIN), a novel technique, has rarely been used for treatment of tibial plateau fractures (TPF). This retrospective study was designed to introduce this novel technique, ASIN, as well as to describe the initial experience and verify the effectiveness when ASIN was used for the management for TPF. A cohort of 19 cases with closed TPF aged from 18-70 years with at least 23 months follow-up from November 2008 to September 2013 was analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent the ASIN procedure, which was performed by the same group of surgeons. Perioperative and postoperative parameters like the measurement of radiographic pictures, surgical data, and clinical function were recorded including the changes in treatment. A modified Hohl-Luck radiological and functional score combined with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score were applied to evaluate the final results and to provide reliable data through the whole procedure when applying the ASIN procedure. The patients were followed up regularly for an average of 26.3 (range, 23-34) months. All patients achieved a bony union at an average of 15.1 weeks with no incidences of malunion, nonunion, or infection. Anatomical reductio...Continue Reading
