Intra-operatively, a standardized surgical technique was utilized for insertion of the magnesium implants. Post \u2013 operatively, clinic visits were standardized and physical exam findings, functional scores, and radiographs were obtained at each visit. All complications were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Five patients with 6 fractures were recruited (2 coronoid, 3 radial head and 1 capitellum). The mean patient age and length of follow up was 54.6 years and 11 months respectively. All fractures healed, and none exhibited loss of reduction or complications requiring revision surgery. No patient developed synovitis of the elbow joint or suffered electrolytic reactions when titanium implants were used concurrently.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Although there is still a paucity of literature available on the subject and further studies are required, magnesium implants appear to be a feasible tool for fixation of peri-articular elbow fractures with promising results in our series.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5312\/wjo.v15.i3.215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,15]],"date-time":"2024-03-15T02:32:09Z","timestamp":1710469929000},"page":"215-229","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Peri-articular elbow fracture fixations with magnesium implants and a review of current literature: A case series"],"prefix":"10.5312","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Christopher","family":"Fang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antony Xavier Rex","family":"Premchand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Derek Howard","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong Hao","family":"Toon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0885328212472215"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jbm.a.32132"},{"key":"B3","unstructured":"Kose O.
