Intramedullary nailing of forearm shaft fractures by biodegradable compared with titanium nails: Results of a prospective randomized trial in children with at least two years of follow-up

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

35 pediatric patients with a closed, diaphyseal forearm fracture were randomized to fixation with either biodegradable intramedullary nailing (BIN) or titanium elastic static intramedullary nailing (ESIN). Patients were assessed after 2 years for results related to range of motion in forearm rotation, wrist elbow flexion-extension, wrist flexion-extension, fracture healing, radial and ulnar angulation, and incidence of complications, including implant failure and re-fracture. No significant differences were noted between groups in ranges of motion, and no case of nonunion was recorded in either group. Dorsal ulnar angulation and lateral radial angulation on radiograph at 2 years was significantly greater in the BIN group. In addition, two cases of implant failure and two cases of re-fracture were recorded, all in the BIN group.
