Extended uses for the Herbert/Whipple screw: six case reports out of 35 illustrating technique.

Journal of orthopaedic trauma·1996

The Herbert/Whipple screw effectively treats scaphoid fractures and non-unions. Larger diameter screws show promise for other fracture types, offering good outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • The Herbert/Whipple screw, a headless double-threaded device, has been a standard for scaphoid fracture and non-union management since 1984.
  • Understanding the technical, biomechanical, and histological aspects of this osteosynthesis is crucial for evaluating its efficacy.

Purpose:

  • To review the technical, biomechanical, and histological features of the Herbert/Whipple screw.
  • To assess the advantages and disadvantages of this osteosynthesis method.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of using larger diameter Herbert/Whipple screws in expanded indications.

Summary:

  • A case review of 39 patients demonstrated that the Herbert/Whipple screw achieves good results in scaphoid injury treatment.
  • The study highlights the successful application of larger diameter Herbert/Whipple screws for indications beyond scaphoid fractures, including humeral- and radial-head fractures, and Jones fractures.
