Reamed versus unreamed femoral nails. A randomised, prospective trial.
We performed a randomised, prospective trial to evaluate the use of unreamed titanium nails for femoral fractures. Of 48 patients with 50 femoral fractures 45 were followed to union; 23 with an unreamed and 22 with a reamed nail. The study was stopped early because of a high rate of implant failure. The fractures in the unreamed group were slower to unite (39.4 weeks) than those in the reamed g...
متن کاملReamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femoral fractures
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Intramedullary nailing is commonly used for treating femoral shaft fractures, one of the most common long bone fractures in adults. The reamed intramedullary nail is considered the standard implant for femoral fractures. This meta-analysis was performed to verify the superiority of reamed intramedullary nailing over unreamed intramedullary nailing in fractures of the fe...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for open tibial fractures
BACKGROUND Open fractures of the tibial diaphysis are usually caused by high-energy trauma and associated with severe bone and soft tissue injury. Reamed and unreamed intramedullary nailing are often used for treatment of tibial injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for open tibial fractures (OTF). METHODS A...
متن کاملTreatment of acute fractures of the femoral shaft with reamed intramedullary interlocking AO nails.
OBJECTIVE To review and audit our experience with closed intramedullary interlocking nailing for acute femoral shaft fractures. METHODS All patients admitted to The Aga Khan University Hospital, over the last six years and with a minimum follow-up of twelve months, with acute fractures of the femoral shaft were included in the study. All patients treated for established non-unions and infecti...
متن کاملA meta-analysis of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing for the treatment of closed tibial fractures.
Controversy exists regarding the clinical outcomes of reamed vs unreamed intramedullary nailing in the treatment of closed tibial fractures. This study assessed the effects of reamed vs unreamed intramedullary nailing for closed tibial fractures. The authors searched PubMed, EMBASE, BIOSIS, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register for randomized and quasi-randomized controlled clinical trial...
