Özet

Objective: Posterior-to-anterior directed screws are stronger than anterior-to-posterior directed screws for coronoid fracture fixation. Anterior approaches that facilitate direct reduction and fixation of coronoid fractures have been described. The present study was based on the hypothesis that anterior-to-posterior headless screw (Acutrak Mini (R) 3.5 mm x 26 mm, Acumed, Hillsboro, Oregon, USA) fixation of coronoid fractures would be as strong as posterior-to-anterior 2.7 mm Association for Osteosynthesis (AO) cortical screw fixation.
