Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The therapeutic strategy remains controversial, ranging from conservative treatment to surgical fixation depending on the degree of displacement and joint instability.
Conventional surgical management of these fractures generally involves fixation with screws or pins. However, the occurrence of certain complications, such as hardware migration, soft tissue irritation, the risk of iatrogenic comminution of small bone fragments, and the need for implant removal, has led to the exploration of alternatives, including the use of anchor fixation.
This technique involves inserting an anchor with sutures into the bone to ensure stable fixation of the fragment, while reducing the risk of comminution and avoiding the need for subsequent removal of the material.
