Radial head ingrowth anatomic implant versus smooth stem monoblock implant in acute terrible triad injury: A prospective comparative study
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma Sep 04, 2017
Rodriguez–Quintana D, et al. – A prospective comparative study was performed to compare clinical outcomes and radiographic findings between patients who received 2 different implants (smooth–stemmed modular implant or an anatomic press–fit implant) on patients with acute terrible triad injuries. For both implants, short–term outcomes were found to be equally effective treatment options. The in vitro biomechanical advantages of anatomic implants did not translate into short–term improved outcomes and symptomatic aseptic loosening in anatomic implants was common. At the proximal radial neck, bone formation was observed more with smooth–stemmed implants. Further studies ought to evaluate these findings and clinical implication.
