A sonography assisted technique for the removal of a femoral interlocking nail – a technical note
BACKGROUND Open methods for removal of femoral interlocking nails involve an incision (up to 10 cm) over the trochanter to find the tip of the nail. The distal locking screws are some times difficult to palpate and an incision (up to about 5 cm) is often needed for exposure. Intra-operative fluoroscopy is often used as an adjunct technique to minimize the surgical wound. However, patients and s...
متن کاملRemoval of a Broken Cannulated Femoral Nail: A Novel Retrograde Impaction Technique
This report presents a surgical technique to remove a broken cannulated nail from the femur. A Harrington rod was modified for retrograde impaction of the retained fragment. The broken implant was finally removed without complication. This particular procedure was safe, simple, and promising.
متن کاملFit-and-fill analysis of trochanteric gamma nail for the Thai proximal femur: a virtual simulation study.
The present study present a three-dimensional virtual simulation method to evaluate the fit-and-fill effect of the insertion of a trochanteric gamma nail (TGN) in 98 Thai dadaveric proximal femora. The circular best fit of the 2-dimensional cross-section of the femoral canal and the nail at 4 levels [d100, d120, d140 and d160] which were located at 100, 120, 140 and 160 mm distal to the tip of ...
متن کاملPresence of a Nail in the Medullary Canal; Is It Enough to Prevent Femoral Neck Shortening in Trochanteric Fracture?
PURPOSE Presence of a cephalomedullary nail (CMN) in the medullary canal has been thought as advantageous in the control of femoral neck shortening (FNS) and lag screw sliding in trochanteric fracture compared to extramedullary fixation system. However, researches on the factors that influence the degree of FNS after cephalomedullary nailing are lacking. MATERIALS AND METHODS We observed 95 p...
متن کاملDifficult Tibial Nail Removal using the “Extended Trochanteric
Osteoarthritis of the knee may occur in patients who have previously undergone tibial nailing, necessitating nail removal in order to perform total knee arthroplasty. Typically, the nail may be removed without a great deal of difficulty, either as a separate procedure or at the time of the arthroplasty. However, tibial nail removal may pose a significant challenge. Extended trochanteric osteoto...
