Retrograde nailing of femoral fractures.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Retrograde nailing represents an established fixation method for fractures of the distal femur and offers in femoral shaft fractures an alternative to the existing technique of antegrade nailing. The aim of this study was to investigate in a retrospective analysis the results of retrograde nailing in distal femoral fractures and selected cases of femoral shaft fractures. Em...
متن کاملPersistent knee complaints after retrograde unreamed nailing of femoral shaft fractures.
Retrograde nailing is an attractive method for stabilisation of femoral shaft fractures in cases of polytrauma, ipsilateral pelvic, acetabular, tibial and femoral neck fractures, bilateral femoral fractures, obese and pregnant patients. However, retrograde nailing may result in complaints about the knee. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of lasting knee pa...
متن کاملIntramedullary nailing versus fixed angle blade plating for subtrochanteric femoral fractures: a prospective randomised controlled trial.
PURPOSE To compare closed intramedullary nailing to open reduction and internal fixation using a fixed angle blade plate for the management of subtrochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 58 patients were equally randomised to undergo either an intramedullary nailing (IN) or fixed angle blade plating (BP). RESULTS There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with regard to age, ...
متن کاملReconstruction nailing for pathological subtrochanteric fractures with coexisting femoral shaft metastases.
We describe the use of intramedullary reconstruction nails in the treatment of 14 patients with pathological subtrochanteric fractures and coexisting metastases in the femoral shaft. After nailing, all patients were free from pain and regained mobility. They were followed up clinically and radiologically until death from the primary disease. There were no mechanical failures even when a less th...
متن کاملRetrograde nailing of a femoral supracondyle.
Because standard femoral supracondylar nails have certain disadvantages, they are often replaced by traditional femoral or tibial locked nails. The purpose of this study was to make a biomechanical comparison between both types of traditional locked nails to determine which technique was more suitable for treating unstable femoral supracondylar fractures. Fourteen left Sawbones femurs (Pacific ...
