Prophylactic Fixation of Impending Fractures
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Pathologic fractures occur as a result of weakening of the mechanical properties of bone. There are many conditions, which lead to bone softening. There are neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases that cause pathologic fractures. The aim is to evaluate and to highlight on value of prophylactic fixation of impending fractures in abnormal bone situation to prevent occurrence of pathological fracture and its complications.

Novel venting technique for intramedullary rod fixation of pathologic fractures.
This article introduces a novel technique to vent the femur and potentially decrease the embolic load created by reaming during intramedullary rod fixation of impending pathologic femur fractures. We used readily available operating room equipment to create a distal femoral vent hole without interfering with standard intramedullary instrumentation and with minimal increase in surgical time. Thi...
متن کاملUpdated Outcomes of Prophylactic Femoral Fixation.
Despite an increasing number of patients with metastatic bone disease (MBD), minimal data exist regarding outcomes of patients undergoing prophylactic femoral fixation for MBD when compared with other frequently performed orthopedic operations, such as hemiarthroplasty of the femur. The authors performed a retrospective database review evaluating these procedures due to similar operative times ...
متن کاملSurgical management of metastatic long bone fractures: principles and techniques.
Management of metastatic long bone fractures requires identification of the lesion and the use of sound fracture fixation principles to relieve pain and restore function. The treating surgeon must understand the principles of pathologic fracture fixation before initiating treatment. Because these fractures occur in the context of a progressive systemic disease, management typically involves a m...
متن کاملPercutaneous internal fixation with Y-STRUT® device to prevent both osteoporotic and pathological hip fractures: a prospective pilot study
BACKGROUND We studied Y-STRUT® (Hyprevention, France), a new percutaneous internal fixation device, in combination with bone cementoplasty to prevent hip fracture. METHODS Between February 2013 and February 2015, a total of 16 femoral necks in 4 osteoporotic and 12 oncologic patients have been considered for prophylactic consolidation in this prospective multicentre pilot study involving 4 di...
متن کاملNovel Venting Technique for Intramedullary Rod Fixation of Pathologic Fractures
Prophylactic intramedullary fi xation of impending pathologic fractures is an important preventative technique. Intramedullary rods provide longitudinal structural support, protecting weakened cortices from fracture displacement, providing pain relief, and allowing for restoration of function.1,2 In the femur, prophylactic stabilization of an impending fracture in a metastatic tumor population ...
