Suture Fixation of Coronoid Fractures – Using an 18 g Needle as Suture Passer – A Novel Technique
View through CrossRef
Introduction: Coronoid fractures in complex elbow dislocations and terrible triad injuries are usually tip avulsions. Only suture fixation of tip fragments may be possible. Case Report: We have described a simple and cost-effective technique for suture fixation of the coronoid fracture using an 18 G needle as a suture passer. Conclusion: This novel technique of using an Ethibond 18 gauge needle as a suture passer may obviate the difficulty usually associated with suture fixation of the coronoid. Keywords: Coronoid tip fracture, coronoid suture fixation, Ethibond looped needle.
