Mechanical failure of intramedullary nails after fracture union.
The case reports of four patients with breakage of the intramedullary nail of the femur are presented. In all four patients the nail broke after consolidation of the fracture of the femoral shaft. All the nails broke at the same place: the junction between the round cross-section and the cloverleaf cross-section.
متن کاملMechanical failure in intramedullary interlocking nails.
PURPOSE To study clinical and mechanical factors that predispose to failure of interlocking nails. METHODS Between October 1996 and December 2002, 286 femoral fractures, 211 tibial fractures, and 47 humeral fractures were repaired using variously designed interlocking nails. Fracture pattern, level and site, nail size and type, weight bearing after nailing, and union status were reviewed afte...
متن کاملInfluence of fracture type and thickness of intramedullary nails on fracture healing – A numerical study
INTRODUCTION: It is common knowledge that the fracture healing process is strongly influenced by the mechanical behaviour of the bone implant complex (BIC) due to the resulting interfragmentary movement (IFM) of the bone fragments at the fracture site. Unreamed intramedullary nailing reduces the disturbance of blood supply in comparison to reamed nailing but leads to a more flexible stabilizati...
متن کاملTibial lengthening over intramedullary nails
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the results and complications of tibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail with treatment using the traditional Ilizarov method. METHODS In this matched case study, 16 adult patients underwent 19 tibial lengthening over nails (LON) procedures. For the matched case group, 17 patients who underwent 19 Ilizarov tibial lengthenings were ret...
متن کاملRetraction Note: A meta-analysis of external fixator versus intramedullary nails for open tibial fracture fixation
BACKGROUND To compare the clinical outcomes of external fixator (EF) and intramedullary nails (IN) in the treatment of open tibial fractures. METHODS We searched seven electronic databases (PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, OVID, Cochrane library, CNKI, and CBM) for trials of tibial fracture fixation published from 1980 to 2013. The indicators including postoperative infection, malunion, nonunion, sof...
