For the majority of scaphoid fractures immobilisation in plaster has been the most common method of treatment for a long time. This approach however means a substantial restriction as well as long periods of inability to work for predominantly young and active people. Increasing expectations of the patients require better treatment that enables early mobilisation and fast regaining of normal function. With its non-protrusive canulated screw from the successfully approved HBS-system Gebrueder Martin offers excellent primary stability for the treatment of intra-articular fractures or those adjacent to a joint.
The System offers the surgeon two screw types, which develop different compression forces (standard or high compression). Accurate positioning of the HBS screw is facilitated by the use of a 1 mm guide wire eliminating the need for a jig. The introduction
of special supplementary instruments to our system enables osteosyntheses with minimal invasive approach. Therefore the HBS-system offers all the advantages of internal fixation whilst avoiding the disadvantages of open surgery.
The T-Drive-screwdriver enables a safe and exact insertion of the self retaining screws. The implants range from 10-30 mm in 1 mm steps offering high precision of the osteosynthesis and also covering an extensive indication area within the field of hand surgery, as examples listed below demonstrate:
