Ipsilateral displaced acetabular and femoral shaft fractures represent a dilemma for orthopedic surgeons because antegrade femoral nailing may complicate a Kocher-Langenbeck acetabular exposure. The goals of this study were to review the results of ipsilateral femoral and acetabular fractures treated with antegrade femoral nailing and a Kocher-Langenbeck approach and to evaluate the assertion t...

conclusions due to our satisfactory test results, the brief training, the steep learning curve and the radiation-free technique the new device has to be considered an appealing alternative for distal locking. objectives our cadaver study was performed to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of this device. materials and methods in two runs, 30 probands (group 1: 10 students; group 2: 10 residen...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this article was to determine the effects of minimally invasive percutaneous plates versus interlocking intramedullary nailing in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures in adults. METHOD Literature searches of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, the Chinese Biomedical Literature database, the CNKI database, Wanfang Data, and the Weipu Journal database were performed up...

OBJECTIVE To compare shoulder function, radial nerve palsy and infection after interlocking nailing with plating of fractures of shaft of humerus during 30 weeks of follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Experimental study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Orthopaedic Wards of Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, from November 2006 to November 2008. METHODOLOGY Two groups of 30 patients each were inducted...

In recent decades, there has been a growing trend to the operative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures. Open reduction and internal plate fixation, and intramedullary nailing fixation are 2 of the widely used techniques for operative treatment, but the optimal fixation method for these types of fractures remains a topic of debate. The objective of this study was to determine th...

Intramedullary nailing is considered to be the optimum treatment for fractures of the long bones of the lower limbs and various studies have been published describing the functional outcome of both reamed and unreamed nailing. 1-15 Several complications have...

PURPOSE To report characteristics and outcomes of 8 patients who underwent intramedullary nailing for alendronate-associated femoral insufficiency fractures. METHODS Records of 7 women and one man aged 54 to 91 (mean, 72) years who underwent intramedullary nailing for spontaneous or low-energy, alendronateassociated femoral insufficiency fractures were retrospectively reviewed. Contralateral ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE:Tibial shaft fracture treatment with intermedullary nailing is very common these days. In the current study, our objective was to determine percentage of patients anterior knee pain following tibial interlocking nailing.
 METHODOLOGY:Our research design a Descriptive cross-sectional study. The study duration approximately one year (03-3-2020 3-3-2021). conducted ...

BACKGROUND Intramedullary nailing is commonly used for treating fractures of the tibial shaft. These fractures are one of the most common long bone fractures in adults. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects (benefits and harms) of different methods and types of intramedullary nailing for treating tibial shaft fractures in adults. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Tra...

introduction: intramedullary nailing (imn) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. however, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated imn fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...
