[Comparison of the results of minimally invasive and open osteosynthesis in treatment of injuries of the proximal radius in children].
The authors present their experience with treatment of injuries of the proximal radius in children. During the period between 1994 and 1998 they treated on account of this injury a total of 59 patients. Ten times they used the open method, 15 times percutaneous fixation and 34 times a conservative approach. They compare the therapeutic results of both surgical methods and demonstrate better results when the miniinvasive approach--percutaneous fixation--is used. The authors recommend this procedure in dislocated injuries type II and III and emphasize the necessity of high standard technical equipment and experience of the working team.
