Pediatric Diaphyseal Femur Fractures: Submuscular Plating Compared With Intramedullary Nailing.
This study compared the radiographic and clinical outcomes of pediatric diaphyseal femur fractures treated by submuscular plating, flexible retrograde intramedullary nailing, or rigid antegrade intramedullary nailing with a trochanteric entry point in skeletally immature patients who were 8 years and older. A retrospective review was conducted of skeletally immature patients 8 years and older w...

متن کاملRetrograde versus antegrade intramedullary nailing of gunshot diaphyseal femur fractures.
BACKGROUND The use of retrograde nailing for gunshot wound femur fractures is controversial due to concerns of knee sepsis after this procedure since the knee is entered to introduce the nail into the canal. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We compared retrograde and antegrade nailing for gunshot femur fractures to determine whether (1) knee sepsis or other adverse events were more likely to complicate pro...
متن کاملTemporizing management of pediatric femur fractures using J-splints.
This article describes a novel splinting technique for the temporizing management of pediatric femur fractures. The J-splint is a reliable, simple, and rapidly applied splint that prevents many of the complications and pitfalls of other described temporizing measures, such as skeletal traction, skin traction, traction splinting, and posterior splinting. This technique of J-splinting femur fract...
متن کاملManagement of periprosthetic fractures of the femur
Periprosthetic fractures occur around the tip of the prosthesis in approximately 0.1% to 2.5% of all hip replacements [1]. Although this is only a very small percentage, it is still significant due to the large number of hip procedures undertaken each year and is certain to increase because of the ageing population. When the prosthesis is not loose, the condition is difficult to treat because o...
