title: [Application of compressing mini-screws in treatment of patients with intra-articular fractures].
abstract: The authors present an experience with the application of compressing headless mini-screws (Herbert screws) in treatment of intra-articular fractures in 37 patients. The mini-screws were used both singly and in combination with other metallic constructions. Long-term results of the treatment were followed up in 21 patients (6 months), in 14 of them excellent results were noted, in 5--good, in 1--satisfactory and in 1--unsatisfactory results. One complication was notes as the formation of a false articulation of the radius neck. An analysis of the results showed that the application of mini-screws allowed performing stable osteosynthesis after anatomical reposition of the articular surfaces, obtaining good anatomical and functional results and shorter period of treatment.
