Flexible intramedullary nailing versus external fixation of paediatric femoral fractures.
Treatment outcomes were compared in two groups of children with femoral diaphyseal fractures which were treated with external fixation (20 fractures) or flexible intramedullary nailing (20 fractures). These 40 children were between 5.4 to 14.1 years of age. The duration of the operation averaged 52 minutes for the external fixator compared with 70 minutes for the flexible nail group. The time t...
متن کاملBone Healing by Using Ilizarov External Fixation Combined with Flexible Intramedullary Nailing versus Ilizarov External Fixation Alone in the Repair of Tibial Shaft Fractures: Experimental Study
PURPOSE Our research was aimed at studying the radiographic and histological outcomes of using flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) combined with Ilizarov external fixation (IEF) versus Ilizarov external fixation alone on a canine model of an open tibial shaft fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Transverse diaphyseal tibial fractures were modelled in twenty dogs. Fractures in the dogs of group 1...
متن کاملExternal fixation followed by delayed interlocking intramedullary nailing in high velocity gunshot wounds of the femur.
BACKGROUND High velocity gunshot-related fracture is associated with massive soft tissue damage and severe comminution at the fracture site. This unique type of open fracture presents a serious challenge to the orthopedic traumatologist. METHODS The study was conducted prospectively involving patients who presented to the Accident and Emergency Department of the Bone and Joint Surgery Hospita...
متن کاملExternal fixation compared to intramedullary nailing of tibial fractures in the rat
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is not known whether there is a difference in bone healing after external fixation and after intramedullary nailing. We therefore compared fracture healing in rats after these two procedures. METHODS 40 male rats were subjected to a standardized tibial shaft osteotomy and were randomly assigned to 2 treatment groups: external fixation or intramedullary nailing. Evalu...
متن کاملtreatment of open pediatric tibial fractures by external fixation versus flexible intramedullary nailing: a comparative study
conclusions although external fixation in open pediatric fractures and severe injuries is recommended, intramedullary nailing is also an effective method with low complications. combining pins and flexible intramedullary nails is effective in developing more stability and is not associated with more complications. background tibial fractures are the third most common pediatric long-bone fractur...
