Stabilization of distal femur fractures with intramedullary nails and locking plates: differences in callus formation.

OBJECTIVES This study compared callus formation in distal femur fractures stabilized with locking plates and intramedullary nails to test the hypothesis that locking plates induce less fracture callus than IM nails. DESIGN Retrospective case matched study. SETTING Two orthopaedic trauma centers. PATIENTS 174 distal femur fracture were reviewed to extract cases treated with retrograde IM n...

Original Contribution TREATMENT OF FRACTURES OF THE DISTAL FEMORAL – OVERVIEWS OF OSTEOSYNTHESIS FUNDS

Distal femoral fractures thigh up from 4 to 9% of all fractures of the femur. There is a direct relationship between the mechanism of receipt of the lesion and the age, sex and the type of fracture. Caused mainly by high-traumatic effects and lead to a high degree of disability. For these reasons, injuries in this anatomical area are of great social importance. The goal of the distal femur frac...

Peri-Implant Fractures Distal to an Antegrade Femoral Nail: A Case Series

Peri-implant fractures distal to an antegrade femoral nail are uncommon injuries, with no current consensus on the best treatment modality. We are presenting three cases of periimplant fractures distal to an antegrade femoral nail. All patients sustained an initial traumatic injury, which was managed with an antegrade femoral nail fixation. They subsequently suffer a second injury which causes ...

Blocking screws for the treatment of distal femur fractures.

Intramedullary nailing is one of the most convenient biological options for treating distal femoral fractures. Because the distal medulla of the femur is wider than the middle diaphysis and intramedullary nails cannot completely fill the intramedullary canal, intramedullary nailing of distal femoral fractures can be difficult when trying to obtain adequate reduction. Some different methods exis...
