Fractures of the tibia shaft treated with locked intramedullary nail

Treatment Outcome of Intramedullary Fixation with a Locked Rigid Nail in Humeral Shaft Fractures

  Background: The aim of this study was to determine the treatment outcome of humeral shaft fractures with a locked rigid intramedullary nail in patients indicated for surgical treatment. Methods: In this descriptive-cross sectional study, all patients were followed up for one, six, and 18 months post operatively. The Short Form Questionnaire (SF-36) and Constant Shoulder Score were applied. Re...

Distal third tibia fractures treated with interlocking intramedullary nail

The management of extraarticular fracture of the distal tibia remains controversial. Surgeons are not very keen on using intramedullary interlocking nail for these fractures because of diffi cult nail fi xation, wider medullary canal in the distal tibia and late angulation .The advent of newer nails with locking holes in the distal parts has made nailing possible even in cases of distal tibia f...

Outcome of Tibial Shaft Fractures Treated by Close Intramedullary Nail

Tibia is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body with an annual incidence of tibial shaft fractures 2 per 1000 individuals. The use of non-operative treatment of tibial fractures that are widely displaced or that are the result of high-energy forces is associated with a high prevalence of malunion, stiffness of the joint, and poor functional outcome. Closed Tibial diaphyseal fractures...

complex fractures of the tibia and femur treated with static interlocking intramedullary nail

Locked intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures.

One hundred twenty-three femoral shaft fractures were treated with Grosse-Kempf slotted, locked nails and followed for a median 20 (range, 12-60) months. There were eight intraoperative and 11 postoperative complications, among them two superficial and two deep infections. Most of the intraoperative complications and some postoperatively lost reductions could have been prevented by a better ope...
