Intramedullary nailing, which is preferred in tibial diaphyseal fractures, is also frequently used in distal third tibial fractures. Various angular deformities, including varus/valgus deformity, may be observed during postintramedullary nailing. Orthopedic surgeons use several methods to prevent this problem.In this study, at least 2 static locking screws were placed proximal and distal to the...

Intramedullary nailing is the accepted treatment of femoral and tibial shaft fractures. Improvements in surgical techniques and implant designs have extended indications for nailing to metaphyseal fractures of the proximal tibia, distal tibia and the distal femur. Malalignment can still occur with intramedullary nailing of these fractures. Among many techniques that have been described, the use...

Objective: Aim of current study was to determine the functional outcomes closed static intramedullary nailing with distal two plane locking versus percutaneous MIPPO tibial plate in 3rd tibia metaphyseal fractures. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial Place and Duration: Nishtar Hospital Multan/Qaisrani Medical Center Multan. Jan 2021-March 2022 Methods: There were 76 patients both genders a...

Objective: To compare treatment of femoral shaft fractures using traction bed assisted closed reduction (CR) or conventional open reduction (OR) for intramedullary nail fixation. Methods: The study group consisted of 126 patients with femoral shaft fractures who were treated via intramedullary nail fixation from July 2009 to May 2013. Traction bed assisted CR was adopted in 71 patients, while O...

The serious nature of these injuries make it essential that Governing Bodies publicise the risks involved in their particular sport and encourage the development of more effective forms of protection. The individuals can then make their own decisions. It may be wise for the Governing Body to circularise members of their own Association and all professional players (who are the trend setters) re...

The authors retrospectively studied 43 children with femoral fractures, treated with titanium elastic nailing (TEN). Twenty-two underwent closed fluoroscopic reduction ( Group I), whereas the other 21 underwent mini-open reduction (Group II). The operation time averaged 71 minutes in group I, and 48 minutes in group II (p < 0.001). The mean fluoroscopy time was 793 seconds in group I, and 35.5 ...

PURPOSE To report characteristics and outcomes of 8 patients who underwent intramedullary nailing for alendronate-associated femoral insufficiency fractures. METHODS Records of 7 women and one man aged 54 to 91 (mean, 72) years who underwent intramedullary nailing for spontaneous or low-energy, alendronateassociated femoral insufficiency fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Contralateral ...

Objectives: In this study we aimed to present our treatment results of intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures with compressive nailing using proximal static hole and only distal dynamic hole with one screw. Methods: Forty-three patients who had a fracture of the femoral shaft were managed between 2005 and 2008 with intramedullary nailing and the use of only one screw for distal inter...

background: fractures of the femoral shaft are mostly the result of high-energy accidents that also cause multiple trauma injuries, in particular ipsilateral knee and hip injuries. the purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of injuries associated with femoral shaft fractures and how many of them were undetected. methods: we studied 148 patients (150 femoral shaft fractures) with...

we present a case report of acute spontaneous knee hemarthosis due to erosion of the nail through the knee joint capsule in a boy, seven months following retrograde flexible nailing for fractured femur. careful positioning of the location of the insertion site of flexible nails and proper nail tip management are important to avoid this rare late complication.
