Remodelling of angular deformity after femoral shaft fractures in children.
We reviewed 28 children with unilateral middle-third fractures of the femoral shaft who had an angular deformity after union of 10 degrees to 26 degrees. At an average follow-up of 45 months (20 to 66), we measured remodelling of the proximal physis, the distal physis and the femoral shaft. The average correction was 85% of the initial deformity. We found that 74% of correction occurred at the ...
متن کاملTreatment Outcome of Intramedullary Fixation with a Locked Rigid Nail in Humeral Shaft Fractures
Background: The aim of this study was to determine the treatment outcome of humeral shaft fractures with a locked rigid intramedullary nail in patients indicated for surgical treatment. Methods: In this descriptive-cross sectional study, all patients were followed up for one, six, and 18 months post operatively. The Short Form Questionnaire (SF-36) and Constant Shoulder Score were applied. Re...
متن کاملSafe surgical technique: intramedullary nail fixation of tibial shaft fractures
Statically locked, reamed intramedullary nailing remains the standard treatment for displaced tibial shaft fractures. Establishing an appropriate starting point is a crucial part of the surgical procedure. Recently, suprapatellar nailing in the semi-extended position has been suggested as a safe and effective surgical technique. Numerous reduction techiques are available to achieve an anatomic ...
متن کاملLeg length discrepancies in adult femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing.
BACKGROUND To evaluate the leg length discrepancy (LLD) retrospectively in adult femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing (IMN). METHODS Sixty-three patients (58 male, 5 female; mean age 29.9+/-12.4; range 15 to 77 years) were included in the study. Fractures were identified according to the Winquist-Hansen (W) system and AO classification. 16 W0, 18 WI, 16 WII, 7 WIII, and...
متن کاملExternal fixation or flexible intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures in children. A prospective, randomised study.
We report the outcome of 19 children aged 5.2 to 13.2 years with 20 fractures of the femoral shaft requiring surgery, who were randomly assigned to have external fixation (EF) or flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) (10 fractures each). The duration of the operation averaged 56 minutes for the EF group with 1.4 minutes of fluoroscopy, compared with 74 minutes and 2.6 minutes, respectively, for...
