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 ...

To the Editor: We read with great interest the manuscript by Kim et al. entitled “Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing for Distal Femur Fracture with Osteoporosis” in the current issue of your journal. We must congratulate the authors for this study. However, we would like to elaborate on few points and would like to draw attention of authors and readers to the following: 1. Filling void in commin...

Abstract The vibration velocity and frequency of rock mass are closely related to the instability failure building. step topography has great influence on blasting wave propagation. Therefore, it is significance study dynamic response subjected load. In this paper, FLAC2D program used plane strain mode adopted in calculation, load assumed be a triangular pulse which applied one side calculating...

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...

Introduction: In a Monteggia fracture dislocation, it is important to reduce the ulnar fracture completely. Extensive plastic deformation of the proximal ulna may make reduction by closed manipulation impossible. Case presentation: We report the case of a four-year-old Caucasian boy in whom the plastic deformation of the proximal ulna was reduced, and this reduction was maintained, using intra-...
