Treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures. Randomised comparison of the gamma nail and the proximal femoral nail.
The proximal femoral nail (PFN) is a recently introduced intramedullary system, designed to improve treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures of the hip. In a multicentre prospective clinical study, the intra-operative use, complications and outcome of treatment using the PFN (n = 211) were compared with those using the gamma nail (GN) (n = 213). The intra-operative blood loss was lower with...
متن کاملGamma nail in the treatment of closed trochanteric fractures. Results and indications of 121 cases.
The Gamma Nail is the latest advance in the treatment of trochanteric fractures based on intramedullary nailing principles during closed procedures. Its design is based on Küntscher's Y-nail and locking intramedullary (IM) nails. This paper reports the results from the first-ever series of 121 patients operated between 1988 and 1990. They were followed until bone union was achieved. The mean pa...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail for treatment of trochanteric femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To report outcomes of 87 consecutive patients treated with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) for trochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 17 men and 70 women aged 58 to 95 (mean, 85) years with trochanteric femoral fractures underwent PFN fixation using an intramedullary nail, a lag screw, and a hip pin. Fractures were classified according to the AO system; the most common fracture type wa...
متن کاملNail-plate fixation for trochanteric fractures.
Case 2-Woman aged thirty-three. Sanatorium treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis in 1944, with thoracoplasty five years later. Onset of ankylosing spondylitis in 1953, with marked rigid cervical kyphosis. The vital capacity was only 880 cubic centimetres. The deformity was so severe that atlanto-axial dislocation seemed imminent. Operation was undertaken at C.3-4 level with correction as shown (...
متن کاملInterTan nail versus Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation-Asia in the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures.
The goal of this study was to compare the outcomes of unstable trochanteric fractures treated with the InterTan nail (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, Tennessee) and the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA-II) (Synthes, Solothurn, Switzerland). A total of 132 consecutive patients with unstable trochanteric fractures of the femur were enrolled in the study. The only intervention was InterTan nail o...
