Management of Subtrochanteric Fracture Femur by Proximal Femoral Nail
Background: Subtrochanteric fractures of the femur remain some of the most challenging fractures faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Most of the fractures in the elderly results from trivial fall from standing or while walking, whereas in the younger age group it is mainly due to road traffic accidents. Closed management of these subtrochanteric fractures poses difficulties in obtaining and maintain...
متن کاملSurgical Management Of Proximal Femur Fractures By Proximal Femoral Nail
Background and Objectives: Proximal third fractures of femur like intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, are a leading cause of hospital admissions in elderly people. The number of such admissions is on a raise because of increasing life span and sedentary habits. Conservative methods of treatment results in malunion with shortening and limitation of hip movement as well as complicati...
متن کاملTreatment of Unstable Trochanteric Femur Fractures: Proximal Femur Nail Versus Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plate.
Unstable trochanteric femur fractures are common fractures that are difficult to manage. We conducted a prospective study to compare functional outcomes and complications of 2 different implant designs, proximal femur nail (PFN) and proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP), used in internal fixation of unstable trochanteric femur fractures. On hospital admission, 48 patients with unstab...
متن کاملEnsuring correct placement of proximal fixation in reconstruction intramedullary nailing for subtrochanteric femur fractures.
Subtrochanteric femur fractures present a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. Anatomic reduction and stabilization can be technically difficult. A variety of intramedullary and extramedullary devices have been used to stabilize these fractures. The authors describe a novel technique for easier proximal interlock fixation for reconstruction intramedullary nailing to ensure proper placement into th...
متن کاملSubtrochanteric femur fractures treated with extramedullary or intramedullary fixation at tertiary care centre
Materials and Methods: Prospective study of traumatic subtrochanteric fractures of femur was carried out among 36 patients at department of Orthopaedics, New Civil Hospital, Surat during January 2013 to December 2014. During surgery, reduction was aimed by closed techniques but when required direct or indirect methods were applied as deemed necessary. Reduction of medial wall and calcar buttres...
