Retrograde Nailing versus Locked Plating of Extra-Articular Distal Femoral Fractures: Comparison of 36 Cases
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the use of locked plating (LP) and retrograde nailing (RN) for treating extra-articular distal femoral fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2004 to March 2009, 36 patients with extra-articular distal femoral fractures were surgically treated at our Trauma Center. The patients were divided into two groups according to...
متن کاملRetrograde nailing of femoral fractures.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Retrograde nailing represents an established fixation method for fractures of the distal femur and offers in femoral shaft fractures an alternative to the existing technique of antegrade nailing. The aim of this study was to investigate in a retrospective analysis the results of retrograde nailing in distal femoral fractures and selected cases of femoral shaft fractures. Em...
متن کاملRetrograde nailing for distal third femoral shaft fractures: a prospective study.
PURPOSE To evaluate the postoperative knee function and results of unreamed retrograde nailing for distal third femoral shaft fractures. METHODS Between January 2002 and 2003 inclusive, a consecutive series of 27 patients (with 28 fractures) who underwent retrograde nailing were prospectively evaluated. Outcome measures were union time, initiation of weight bearing, deformity and shortening, ...
متن کاملAntegrade interlocking nailing for distal femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To assess outcomes of antegrade interlocking nailing for supracondylar or intercondylar fractures of the distal femur. METHODS Records of 10 women and 20 men aged 20 to 70 (mean, 48.7) years who underwent antegrade interlocking nailing for distal femoral fractures were reviewed. 23 patients had closed fractures and 7 had open fractures; 6 had associated fractures of the forearm or tib...
متن کاملResults of retrograde intramedullary nailing for distal femoral fractures--own experience.
BACKGROUND Fractures of the distal femoral epiphysis and metaphysis are complex musculoskeletal injuries posing a significant clinical problem. The incidence of compound femoral fractures has been growing owing to the rapid development of the motor industry. The fractures are most commonly the result of high-energy traumas during road accidents or falls from a height. MATERIAL AND METHODS A t...
