Proximal humeral nonunions treated with fixed-angle locked plating and an intramedullary strut allograft.
OBJECTIVE To determine if the use of a fixed-angle locked plate plus an intramedullary allograft in the treatment of proximal humeral nonunions resulted in improved union. DESIGN Retrospective clinical analysis of patients' medical charts and radiographs. SETTING Clinical practice of senior authors. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Eighteen patients who presented to the senior authors' clinic betwee...
متن کاملLocked intramedullary nailing in the treatment of non-union following humeral shaft fractures. Cases study.
The paper presents an analysis of cases of treatment of humeral shaft fracture non-union following operative treatment. Non-union was treated by locked intramedullary nailing in all patients. Bone destruction at the fracture site is an indication for using bone grafts. In our opinion autologous bone marrow injection to the fracture site is an effective method of bone union stimulation, and this...
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 کاملLocked intramedullary nailing versus dynamic compression plating for humeral shaft fractures.
PURPOSE. To compare functional outcomes, union and complication rates in patients treated with locked intramedullary nailing or dynamic compression plating for humeral shaft fractures. METHODS. 32 men and 2 women with humeral shaft fractures were randomised to undergo locked antegrade intramedullary nailing (IMN, n=16) or dynamic compression plating (DCP, n=18). Patients with pathological fract...
متن کاملLocked 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...
