Determination of the Best Method of Tibial Nail Length Estimation in Patients with Tibia Fracture
Background & Aims: Tibia fractures are the most common long bone fracture. Due to minimal soft tissue and its blood supply, inadequate treatment of injuries could be a major cause of morbidity and disability. The intramedullary nail is the preferred method of treatment; however, despite all previous studies, no accurate method to measure nail length prior to surgery exists as yet. Due to the im...
متن کاملExtraction of broken interlocking tibial nail without opening the fracture - Nail in Nail technique: A simpler and cost effective solution
The removal of the distal fragment of broken intramedullary nail often poses an important technical challenge. Many methods have been published on the removal of the distal piece of a broken distal closed section intramedullary nail that involve the use of hooks, olive wires or special instruments that are often not available to the general orthopedist working in a smaller setup. Additionally, ...

VOL. 77-B. No. 6, NOVEMBER 1995 This had been by a paratendinous incision in 65 fractures and a patellar-tendon-splitting incision in 36. The position of the nail in relation to the tibial plateau and anterior cortex was measured on postoperative lateral radiographs. The patients were reviewed to discover the incidence of knee pain and the need for nail removal. Results. Sixty-one of the 107 pa...
متن کاملInfluence of nail prominence and insertion point on anterior knee pain after tibial intramedullary nailing.
Chronic anterior knee pain is the most common complication after tibial nail insertion. Its etiology remains unknown, and multifactorial sources have been suggested. The authors believe that nail prominence and the insertion point of the nail are important in the development of anterior knee pain. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the roles of the insertion point and nail ...
متن کاملOutcome of Distal Both Bone Leg Fractures Fixed by Intramedulary Nail for Fibula & MIPPO in Tibia
Background: Fractures of the distal third of the tibia are mostly associated with a fibular fracture that often requires fixation. The preferred treatment of distal tibial fracture is the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) procedure. However, there are no clear cut guidelines on fixation of the fibular fracture and currently most orthopedic surgeons use a plate osteo...
