Expandable intramedullary nails for fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
Interlocking intramedullary nailing is currently the preferred treatment for most tibial fractures requiring operative treatment, with good results and a relatively low complication rate as reported in large clinical series. However, vascular and neurological complications caused by interlocking screws have been reported. In addition, insertion of distal interlocking screws can be technically d...
متن کاملTibial lengthening over intramedullary nails
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the results and complications of tibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail with treatment using the traditional Ilizarov method. METHODS In this matched case study, 16 adult patients underwent 19 tibial lengthening over nails (LON) procedures. For the matched case group, 17 patients who underwent 19 Ilizarov tibial lengthenings were ret...
متن کاملMechanical failure in intramedullary interlocking nails.
PURPOSE To study clinical and mechanical factors that predispose to failure of interlocking nails. METHODS Between October 1996 and December 2002, 286 femoral fractures, 211 tibial fractures, and 47 humeral fractures were repaired using variously designed interlocking nails. Fracture pattern, level and site, nail size and type, weight bearing after nailing, and union status were reviewed afte...
متن کاملLong-term stability of angle-stable versus conventional locked intramedullary nails in distal tibia fractures
BACKGROUND In the last years intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for most displaced diaphyseal tibia fractures. In contrast intramedullary nailing of distal tibia fractures is accompanied by problems like decreased biomechanical stability. Nevertheless the indications for intramedullary nailing have been extended to include even more distal fractures. The purpose of this s...
متن کاملInterlocking nails for treatment of femoral fractures.
A series of 23 fractures of the femur were treated using femoral interlocking nails. The average follow-up period was 14.8 months. There were 14 closed fractures and 9 compound fractures. Closed nailing was done for 8 patients and open nailing for 15 patients. All the fractures united. There were no superficial or deep infections. The most common complication was leg length discrepancy; shorten...
