Intertrochanteric fracture non-unions with implant failure of the gamma nail.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Failure of internal fixation of intertrochanteric fracture is associated with delayed union or malunion resulting in persistent pain and diminished function. We report a rare case of implant failure of the gamma nail with intertrochanteric fracture non union treated by DCS plate screw and bone graft.

BACKGROUND Intertrochanteric hip fractures are common and devastating injuries especially for the elderly. Surgical treatment is the optimal strategy for managing intertrochanteric fractures as it allows early rehabilitation and functional recovery. The relative effects of internal fixation strategies for intertrochanteric fracture after operation remain limited to relatively small studies whic...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail antirotation and third-generation Gamma nail: which is a better device for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures?
INTRODUCTION Proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and third-generation Gamma nail (Gamma 3) are widely used in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. However, it remains unclear which device achieves better clinical and radiographic outcomes when treating intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS This study comprised 239 patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with either PFN...

Intertrochanteric fractures are injuries that affect both the elderly and young individuals. In young individuals injury results from high energy trauma and in elderly individuals usually fractures are 1 of osteoporotic bone ,resulting from trivial trauma. Intertrochanteric fractures are more common in elderly females. Elderly people with low bone mineral density are prone for 2 unstable fractu...

We report the results of a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the Gamma 3 nail with the ACE trochanteric nail for the treatment of pertrochanteric femoral fractures. One hundred and twelve consecutive patients were enrolled in the study: 61 patients were treated with the Gamma 3 nail, 51 with the ACE trochanteric nail. The two groups were matched for age, fracture type and preopera...
متن کاملImplant breakage, a rare complication with the Gamma nail. A review of 843 fractures of the proximal femur treated with a Gamma nail.
Internal fixation with a Gamma nail, in its short and long versions, is an excellent surgical technique for intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures of the femur. A stable osteosynthesis is obtained which allows early mobilisation and promotes healing of the fracture. However, it is not free from complications; many of them are due to poor surgical technique and/or inadequate monitoring....
