No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is some debate over the best treatment for anterior-superior iliac spine (ASIS) avulsion fractures although conservative treatment can be applied when there are no neurological symptoms. Open reduction and internal fixation can be performed for dislocations exceeding 1.5 cm, or in patients requiring a short period of convalescence, although a second operation is subsequently required to extract osteosynthetic material. In this paper, we introduce the use of absorbable screws as a new fixation material for the second round of surgery.

Conditions

  • Fractures, Bone
  • Pediatrics

Interventions

PROCEDURE

open reduction and internal fixation with fixation by absorbable screws

Group A received conservative therapy involving bed rest with the affected lower extremity positioned with the hip and knee in flexion to ensure minimal tension of the muscles attached to the ASIS avulsion fracture. Group B received open reduction and internal fixation with fixation by absorbable screws.
