While antegrade nailing for proximal and diaphyseal femur fractures is a commonly utilized fixation method with benefits including early mobilization and high rates of fracture union, both intraoperative and postoperative complications may occur. Intraoperative errors include leg length discrepancy, anterior cortical perforation, malreduction of the fracture, and neurovascular injury, and posto...

Intramedullary nailing has revolutionized the management of tibial diaphyseal fractures. However, anterior knee pain remains a common complication. Although knee pain causes are still largely unknown, there is evidence to suggest that adhesions resulting from soft tissue damage may contribute to it. We describe a simple cost-effective technique that utilises a syringe to protect the patellar li...

PURPOSE Rigid interlocking nailing for femoral shaft fracture is ideal for use in adolescents in terms of stability of the fracture and convenience for the patient. However, numerous authors have reported that rigid interlocking nailing has some limitations in this age group due to the risk of complications. We evaluated the results of intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures with an ...

Longsor terjadi di lereng Sungai Gandong Magetan. Lokasi sungai yang berada tengah perkotaan mengakibatkan longsoran hampir mencapai rumah warga. Perlu dilakukan upaya peningkatan stabilitas agar aman terhadap longsor. Analisis menggunakan metode LEM (Limit Equilibrium Method) dengan progam bantu Geoslope. Hasil analisis kondisi eksisting mendapatkan nilai faktor keamanan 0.379. Alternatif perk...

Background: The aim of the study was to analyse compare between interlock nailing and dynamic compression plating in humerus diaphyseal fractures its functional surgical outcome. Methods: 2019 2022, patients were randomly divided into two groups with help computer-generated coded envelopes, group A (humerus treated plating) B nailing) 20 each group. Outcomes evaluated based on operative time, b...

Femoral neck fractures are associated with femoral shaft fractures in 1% to 9% of cases. Undisplaced neck fractures are susceptible to displacement during shaft nailing. We report the case of a 57-year-old male patient in whom we performed standard intramedullary nailing for a femoral shaft fracture. In doing so, we identified a vertical radiolucent line at the femoral neck, which was thought t...

Introduction With an incidence of 75,000 per year in the United States alone, fractures of the tibial shaft are among the most common long bone fractures. Techniques using a semi-extended suprapatellar approach can facilitate intraoperative imaging, allow easier access to starting site position and counter deforming forces. While outcomes following traditional infrapatellar nailing have been we...

Introduction Humerus non-union is a challenging situation for the surgeon and devastating and morbid situation for the patient. Surgical approach to the humerus is demanding because of the complex neurovascular anatomy and especially when previous surgeries have been attempted. Case Report We report a case of a young adult male who sustained a compound fracture of humerus shaft treated with i...

Reamed intramedullary nailing was carried out on R57 Gustilo grade-IIIB tibial fractures in 55 patients. After debridement, there was substantial bone loss in 28 fractures (49%). The mean time to union was 43 weeks (14 to 94). When there was no bone loss, the mean time to union was 32 weeks; it was 45 weeks if there was bone loss. Fractures complicated by infection took a mean of 53 weeks to he...

BACKGROUND Long-term application of an external fixator to treat leg-length discrepancy and short stature often causes complications, such as pin-tract infection or loss of range of motion at the knee or ankle (or both). Prolonged fixator use also interferes with the activities of daily living. To minimize such problems, we have combined intramedullary nailing with external fixation. Using this...
