Intramedullary nailing appears to be superior in pertrochanteric hip fractures with a detached greater trochanter
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In recent years, intramedullary nails (INs) for the treatment of pertrochanteric hip fractures have gained prominence relative to conventional, sliding hip screws (SHSs). There is little empirical background for this development, however. A previous series of ours suggested that the use of SHS was not adequate in situations with fragile or fractured lateral femoral walls,...
متن کاملOutcomes of Cephalomedullary Nailing in Basicervical Fracture
Purpose A basicervical femoral fracture is defined as a fracture of base of neck of femur that occurs medially from intertrochanteric line above lesser trochanter. In this study, we intended to evaluate radiological and clinical results of basicervical femoral fractures treated by intramedullary nailing. Materials and Methods Fifteen patients, who underwent intramedullary nailing among 50 pat...
متن کاملZ-effect after intramedullary nailing systems for trochanteric femur fractures
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of Z-effect after dual lag screw intramedullary nailing systems and risk factors contributing to this effect. We hypothesized that long nails provide more neck strength due to a longer lever than short nails and are therefore less likely to develop a misbalance of a higher head compressive strength than neck compressive strength. ...
متن کاملClosed, locked intramedullary nailing of pediatric femoral shaft fractures through the tip of the greater trochanter.
BACKGROUND Closed femoral nailing is universally accepted as the treatment of choice in almost all diaphyseal femoral fractures in adults. Numerous authors reported favorable results applying the same surgical technique in the adolescent patient group. Nevertheless, reports of complications such as avascular necrosis and alteration of the proximal femoral anatomy have dampened the initial enthu...
متن کاملAn anatomical study of the entry point in the greater trochanter for intramedullary nailing.
Malpositioning of the trochanteric entry point during the introduction of an intramedullary nail may cause iatrogenic fracture or malreduction. Although the optimal point of insertion in the coronal plane has been well described, positioning in the sagittal plane is poorly defined. The paired femora from 374 cadavers were placed both in the anatomical position and in internal rotation to neutra...
