Flexible intramedullary nailing in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in preschool children.
Femur fractures in preschool children are mostly treated in a conservative way, by means of spica cast immobilisation or skin traction. In school age children the use of flexible intramedullary nails (FIN) is widely used and promoted. We performed intramedullary nailing in 9 preschool children aged 1.5-6 years. The mean length of postoperative hospital stay was 4 days (range: 3 to 6). The mean ...
متن کاملManagement of Diaphyseal Fractures of Long Bones in Children with Intramedullary Flexible Nail Nailing
Background: Ideally, fixation of paediatric diaphyseal fractures should produce an “internal splint” that shares loads, maintains reduction until hard callus formation, and does not endanger the growth areas or blood supply. Results from several studies have shown that FIN / TENS fixation meets these requirements because it allows rapid mobilization, potentially no risk for osteonecrosis, low r...
متن کاملFlexible 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 کاملIntramedullary nailing for pathological femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To evaluate whether the operating time correlates with the survival and outcome in patients who underwent intramedullary nailing for metastatic femoral fractures. METHODS Records of 10 men and 11 women aged 43 to 86 (mean, 66) years who underwent intramedullary nailing (4 bilaterally) for metastatic femoral fractures between 1999 and 2003 were reviewed. The patients were followed up f...
متن کاملExternal fixation or flexible intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures in children. A prospective, randomised study.
We report the outcome of 19 children aged 5.2 to 13.2 years with 20 fractures of the femoral shaft requiring surgery, who were randomly assigned to have external fixation (EF) or flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) (10 fractures each). The duration of the operation averaged 56 minutes for the EF group with 1.4 minutes of fluoroscopy, compared with 74 minutes and 2.6 minutes, respectively, for...
