Reconstruct coronoid process of ulna with ilium-fascia lata complex tissue

Abstract

Objective To analyze and explore the operative effect of coraccid process basilar part fractures combined injury of ligamental structure. Methods Use ilium-fascia lata complex tissue to reconstruct coronoid process of ulna and medial collateral ligament, recoverd anterior and wall horn anatomic structure of elbow joint. Total 9 cases of ulna coracoid process fractures concomitancy with elbow posterior dislocation . Among these one with olec-ranon fracture,five patients with head of radius fracture. Anterior trance joint approach was used,removal bone chips, restore defect with ilium-fascia lata complex tissue after cuting and trimming. Once reduction was achieved,fixed with screw. Repaird the collateral ligament and anterior joint capsule use the fascia lata, If there were combined fracture of the radius head or olecranon fracture,fixed through lateral approach,All injured extremities were treated with a posterior plaster splint with functional position for 3 weeks followed by elbow rehabilitation training. Results According to Moneys evaluation method,2 patients were classified as excellent ,5 as good,l as fair and 1 as poor. The excellent and good rate was 77. 8%. Two patients with gently ossifying myositis but no patients with wound infection,internal fixation loosening or break,elbow joint destabilizing orcorpus libemm. Conclusions Coracoid process basilar part fractures was simultaneous with the instability of osteal frame and soft tissue. To attain the favourable anatomical foundation for elbow joint functional recovery, it should rebuild the height and shape of coronoid process first and think highly of repair or rebuild medial collateral ligament and joint capsule. It reconstructed the coronoid process osteal frame and soft tissue instability at the same time to use ilium-fascia lata complex tissue. The operative procedure is simplify with reliability effect and fine functional rehabilitation. Key words: Elbow Joint; Ulna fractures; Bone remodeling; Fascia lata; Ilium
