PROSPECTIVE STUDY OF INTERNAL FIXATION OF DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES WITH LIMITED CONTACT-DYNAMIC COMPRESSION PLATING
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 13
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the concept of biological plating with limited contact dynamic compression plate. The term L.C.-D.C.P stands for a new concept of plate fixation, which can by giving primary importance to the vascularity of the tissues reduces operative trauma to the bone, preserves blood supply, avoids stress risers produced at implant removal, prevents porosis of the plated bone segment and helps in better callous bridging, resulting in early and better functioning of the limb. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the period of 2 years, 30 cases have been studied for the effect of internal fixation of diaphyseal fractures with L.C.-D.C.P. with the concept of biological internal fixation. Maximum follow-up period was 16 months. RESULTS The results were good with uneventful recovery of 26 cases and with complications in the other one case as follows: Post-operative infection and delayed union. The overall results of encouraging comparative conventional methods of plating justifying the utility of new concept and implant.
