Aseptic nonunion of a femoral shaft treated using exchange nailing.
BACKGROUND There are many methods for treating femoral shaft aseptic nonunions of which exchange nailing is the simplest technique. However, the reported success rate varies. Therefore, a prospective study was conducted to further clarify the role of exchange nailing. METHODS From October 1994 through December 1999, 40 femoral shaft aseptic nonunions in 39 patients were treated using exchange...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate a standardized method of treatment of femoral nonunion of the isthmal femur excluding non-united metaphyseal fractures. METHODS Between 2003 and 2010, 72 consecutive patients with nonunion of the femoral shaft were operated using a standardized protocol in our trauma department and followed up for successful union and functional result. RESUL...
متن کاملExchange nailing for aseptic tibial shaft nonunion: emphasis on the influence of a concomitant fibulotomy.
BACKGROUND Exchange nailing is reported to have a high success rate for aseptic tibial nonunions. However, sample sizes in all series in the literature were small, and the influence of a concomitant fibulotomy was not evaluated. METHODS Fifty-four aseptic tibial shaft nonunions for 1.2 approximately 4.3 (mean, 2.4) years were treated with exchange nailing. Indications for this technique inclu...
متن کاملComparing the Effect of Reamed Exchange Nailing and Augmentation Compression Plating in Treatment of Femoral Shaft Nonunion
Background and purpose: One of the most important complications of bone fractures is nonunion. This research aimed at comparing the effect of exchange nailing and plate augmentation on complications after surgery and the time to achieve desired outcomes. Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 12 femoral shaft nonunion cases treated operatively in 2011-2018 (...
متن کاملEffectiveness of plate augmentation for femoral shaft nonunion after nailing.
BACKGROUND Treatment options for nonunion of the femoral shaft fracture after intramedullary nail fixation are controversial. The methods of exchanging an existing nail with a larger-sized nail, dynamization, removal of the nail followed by plating, and bone grafting have all been reported. From those options, exchange nailing seems to be the most popular choice. In our study, we used plate aug...
