We have evaluated the Powered Metaphyseal Stapler in various procedures in the adult foot to determine the effectiveness of this form of internal fixation. Thirty-five patients had 40 operations (five bilateral). In all but one case there was both clinical and radiographic evidence of a solid bony union. Backing out of the staples has been a minor problem that has required staple removal in three patients. The Powered Metaphyseal Stapler appears to offer a most satisfactory option for internal fixation in the foot, when used in metaphyseal or cancellous bone, as either primary or adjuvant fixation.
我们评估了动力型干骺端吻合器在成人足部各种手术中的应用，以确定这种内固定形式的有效性。35例患者接受了40次手术（5例为双侧手术）。除1例病例外，其余所有病例均有临床和影像学证据表明存在牢固的骨愈合。吻合器退出一直是一个小问题，有3例患者需要取出吻合器。当用于干骺端或松质骨作为初次或辅助固定时，动力型干骺端吻合器似乎为足部内固定提供了一个非常令人满意的选择。
