Intramedullary Nailing for Middle Clavicular Fractur

Intramedullary 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...

The history of intramedullary nailing.

Pre-operative planning for intramedullary nailing.

THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY there is more extensive damage to the acetabulum or to the head of the femur. Discussion. The technique we use applies a corrective force directly to the femoral head enabling reduction to be controlled and achieved with minimal trauma. The position of flexion and adduction relaxes the iliofemoral ligament and allows the femoral head to pass the obstruction...

Single, superiorly placed reconstruction plate compared with flexible intramedullary nailing for midshaft clavicular fractures: a prospective, randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown good clinical results in patients with midshaft clavicular fractures treated with reconstruction plate fixation or elastic stable intramedullary nailing. The objective of this study was to compare these methods in terms of clinical and radiographic results. METHODS In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, fifty-nine patients with displaced midsh...

Intramedullary Nailing Versus Plate Fixation for the Treatment Displaced Midshaft Clavicular Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The two commonly performed surgical techniques used to repair displaced midshaft clavicle fractures are plate fixation or intramedullary nailing; however, despite recent evidence, the optimal method to treat such fractures remains a continued topic of debate. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to evaluate long term function, complications, and operative duratio...
