The Herbert differential pitch bone screw in displaced radial head fractures
Injury
|November 1, 1985
Abstract:
The Herbert bone screw (Herbert and Fisher, 1984) has been used in the treatment of ten segmental fractures of the radial head. This differential pitch bone screw provides rigid fixation with compression, has no protruding head, is easily introduced and is of such a small diameter that more than one screw can be used. The early results achieved are reported.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
