Kirschner Wire versus Titanium Elastic Nails in Pediatric Femoral Shaft Fractures
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of intramedullary fixation using the Kirschner-wire (K-wire) compared to the titanium elastic nail (TEN) in pediatric femoral shaft fractures. METHODS A sample of 42 pediatric patients with a mean age of 6.55±2.42 years (range 4-11 years) presenting femoral shaft fractures underwent intramedullary fixation using the K-wire or TEN. RESULTS There was no...
متن کاملTitanium Elastic Nails Versus Spica Cast in Pediatric Femoral Shaft Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 1012 Patients
Background: There is a general consensus on the management of femoral fractures in children younger than two years and adolescents older than sixteen years. The best treatment for patients younger than sixteen years of age is still debatable. Titanium Elastic Nails (TEN), is widely used with some evidence, nonetheless, we undertook a systematic meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of TEN comp...
متن کاملPediatric femoral shaft fractures treated with titanium elastic nailing.
The objective of this study was to prospectively compare intraoperative fluoroscopy time and clinical and radiological results in pediatric femoral shaft fractures treated with titanium elastic nailing (TEN) using a small-incision, blind-hand reduction vs closed reduction. From February 2008 to December 2009, sixty-eight children were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups: ...
متن کاملExpandable intramedullary nails for fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
Interlocking intramedullary nailing is currently the preferred treatment for most tibial fractures requiring operative treatment, with good results and a relatively low complication rate as reported in large clinical series. However, vascular and neurological complications caused by interlocking screws have been reported. In addition, insertion of distal interlocking screws can be technically d...
متن کاملTreatment of Paediatric Femoral Shaft Fracture with Titanium Elastic Nails
The operative fixation of pediatric femoral fractures is increasing being done nowadays. Children of age less than six years can be best treated by traction followed by cast method but the conventional traction and casting method for management of pediatric femoral fractures is giving way for the operative stabilization of the fracture in children more than six years. Twenty patients in age gro...
