Compression plating versus intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures--a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND The choice of plates or intramedullary nails for operatively treated humeral shaft fractures remains controversial, since randomized controlled trials have lacked sufficient power. A meta-analysis of existing trials would improve inferences regarding the treatment effect. METHODS We reviewed randomized trials in Medline, Cochrane and SciSearch, along with other sources of published...
متن کاملAugmentative compression plating versus exchanging reamed nailing for nonunion of femoral shaft fracture after intramedullary nailing : A retrospective cohort study.
Aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes between exchanging reamed nailing (ERN) and augmentative compression plating (ACP) in treatment of femoral shaft nonunion after intra-medullary nailing (IMN) retrospectively. A retrospective, multicentre study was performed with 188 patients (190 cases)with femoral shaft nonunion after IMN, who received therapy with either ERN (n = 92) for 44...
متن کاملInterlocking nailing of humeral shaft fractures.
: In this retrospective study 48 humeral shaft fractures in 48 patients were operated on using the Seidel interlocking nail. The length of follow-up ranged from 6 to 60 months (median, 26 months). The treatment of fractures was satisfactory with the Seidel nail, but we emphasize the importance of countersinking the tip of the nail into the humeral head to avoid impingement. In 5 of 12 patients ...
متن کاملLocked Nailing of Humeral Shaft Fractures
We report the results of locked Seidel nailing for 30 fractures of the humerus. There were frequent technical difficulties at operation especially with the locking mechanisms. Protrusion of the nail above the greater tuberosity occurred in 12 cases, usually due to inadequate locking, and resulted in shoulder pain and poor function. Poor shoulder function was also seen in five patients with no n...
متن کاملAntegrade interlocking nailing of humeral shaft fractures.
The results of 39 humeral shaft fractures (37 patients) treated with antegrade locked nailing using a Russell-Taylor nail were reviewed. There were 30 acute fractures, 6 fractures malaligned in a hanging cast or brace, and 3 pathological fractures. Patient age ranged from 26 to 80 years (average, 59.7 years) and average follow-up was 25.7 months (range, 6-48 months). Fracture union was achieved...
