Retrograde femoral interlocking nail in complex fractures.
Retrograde interlocking nail was used as the method of fixation in 35 different cases of combination of complex femoral fractures. We performed this procedure in fractures of femoral shaft associated with fracture neck femur, pathological fractures of proximal third of femur with trochanteric pathology, ipsilateral fracture of femur and tibia in polytrauma cases with multiple other injuries, in...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail for treatment of trochanteric femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To report outcomes of 87 consecutive patients treated with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) for trochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 17 men and 70 women aged 58 to 95 (mean, 85) years with trochanteric femoral fractures underwent PFN fixation using an intramedullary nail, a lag screw, and a hip pin. Fractures were classified according to the AO system; the most common fracture type wa...
متن کاملThe use of Ender nail in intertrochanteric fractures supported with external fixation.
BACKGROUND Intramedullary Ender nailing in intertrochanteric fractures was very popular in the past. However, this method has fallen in favor over time, due to complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate results with this method and possible ways to prevent these complications, including the use of unilateral fixators to support the Ender nails. METHODS This technique (Ender nail...
متن کاملUse of femoral nail with spiral blade in subtrochanteric fractures.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of acute subtrochanteric fractures managed with intramedullary nail and spiral blade fixation of the proximal fragment. METHODS Charts of 33 patients (17 males and 16 females) with acute subtrochanteric fractures operated with intramedullary nail and spiral blade at our institution between March 2006 and February 2011 were retrospect...
متن کاملAugmentation of proximal femoral nail in unstable trochanteric fractures
INTRODUCTION Biomechanically proximal femoral nail (PFN) is a better choice of implant, still it is associated with screw breakage, cut out of screw through femoral head, Z effect, reverse Z effect, and lateral migration of screws. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of augmented PFN in terms of prevention of postoperative complications and failure rates in unstable trochanteri...
