Abstract

Absorbable self-reinforced polyglycolide pins were used for transarticular fixation of displaced Type I capitellar fracture in 8 adult women. An anatomical reduction was obtained, the fixation was stable, and function became good in all the cases. A sterile synovitis in one case was drained and subsided within 3 weeks, without further intervention.
