Computer navigation and fixator-assisted femoral osteotomy for correction of malunion after periprosthetic femur fracture.
Periprosthetic femoral fracture post-total knee arthroplasty can lead to malunion. This may lead to abnormal force transmission and accelerated wear of the prosthesis. Accurate femoral deformity correction depends on the combined correction of the mechanical axis alignment and the lateral distal femoral angle. Modern external fixation correction devices allow for simultaneous gradual correction...
متن کاملFixator-assisted nailing and consecutive lengthening over an intramedullary nail for the correction of tibial deformity.
We report the results of using a combination of fixator-assisted nailing with lengthening over an intramedullary nail in patients with tibial deformity and shortening. Between 1997 and 2007, 13 tibiae in nine patients with a mean age of 25.4 years (17 to 34) were treated with a unilateral external fixator for acute correction of deformity, followed by lengthening over an intramedullary nail wit...
متن کاملRetrograde Nailing versus Locked Plating of Extra-Articular Distal Femoral Fractures: Comparison of 36 Cases
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the use of locked plating (LP) and retrograde nailing (RN) for treating extra-articular distal femoral fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2004 to March 2009, 36 patients with extra-articular distal femoral fractures were surgically treated at our Trauma Center. The patients were divided into two groups according to...
متن کاملA correction of windswept deformity by fixator assisted nailing. A report of two cases.
We report two cases with windswept deformities of the lower extremities. All deformities were corrected by fixator-assisted intramedullary nailing. At the latest follow-up, the patients had normal alignment, without symptoms and no loss of correction.
متن کاملTreatment of Pediatric Open Femoral Fractures with External Fixator Versus Flexible Intramedullary Nails
Background: In children, inappropriate treatment of open femoral fractures may induce several complications. A few studies have compared the external fixator with flexible intramedullary nails in high-grade open femoral fractures of children. The present study aims at comparing results of these two treatment methods in open femoral fractures. Methods: In this descriptive analytical study, 27 ...
