Surgical fixation of Maisonneuve fractures with a screw suture fixation device: Results of 10 cases

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the use of a screw suture synosmosis device called Fibulink for the treatment of masonry fracture patterns. The device combines screw fixation with suture flexibility to avoid complications and re-operations associated with static screws. The device is used to restore length and alignment of the fibula and stabilize the synosmosis in cases involving fibula fractures in the proximal third. The speaker presents the results of 10 cases treated with Fibulink, demonstrating successful restoration of fibula length and stability of the synosmosis. The average time to surgery was 12.3 days, and the cohort included five males and five females. The device showed no failures or removals during the study period. <br />Credits: The video does not mention any specific credits.
