Letter to the editor: Blocking screws: an adjunct to retrograde nailing for distal femoral shaft fractures.
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Gavaskar and Chowdary.1 1. What is the exact location of blocking screws, as being too close to the fracture site may risk propagation of the fracture line during nail insertion? Furthermore, there may be a risk of injuring the patellofemoral joint and neurovascular bundle while placing the blocking screws in an anteroposterior direction...
متن کاملBlocking screws: an adjunct to retrograde nailing for distal femoral shaft fractures.
PURPOSE. To review records of 11 patients who underwent retrograde nailing in conjunction with blocking screws to aid fracture reduction for distal femoral shaft fractures. METHODS. Records of 8 men and 3 women aged 27 to 60 (mean, 41) years who underwent retrograde nailing with the use of blocking screws for distal femoral shaft fractures were reviewed. Two of the fractures were open and grade...
متن کاملFine-Tuning Reception in the Bone: PPARγ and Company
PPARgamma plays a central role in the formation of fat. Regulation of PPARgamma activity depends on numerous factors ranging from dietary ligands to nuclear hormone coactivators and corepressors to oxygen-sensing mechanisms. In addition, the interplay of PPARgamma with other nuclear hormone receptors has implications for the balance between adipogenesis and osteogenesis in mesenchymal stem cell...
متن کاملDistal Locking Screws for Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Fractures.
Recently introduced tibial intramedullary nails allow a number of distal screws to be used to reduce the incidence of malalignment and loss of fixation of distal metaphyseal fractures. However, the number of screws and the type of screw configuration to be used remains obscure. This biomechanical study was performed to address this question. Thirty-six Expert tibial nails (Synthes, Oberdorf, Sw...
متن کاملIntramedullary nailing supplemented with Poller screws for proximal tibial fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate outcome of intramedullary nailing supplemented with Poller screws for proximal tibial fractures using small diameter nails. METHODS 50 men and 20 women (75 fractures) aged 18 to 65 (mean, 33) years underwent intramedullary nailing supplemented with Poller screws for acutely displaced fractures (n=60) or for delayed union (n=10) or mal-union (n=5) of the proximal metadiaphy...
