This study was designed to compare bone mineral density, periosteal callus production, new bone formation, bone porosity, histologic appearance, and union of mid-diaphyseal segmental allografts of the femur stabilized with an interlocking nail technique in a canine model 6 months after the procedure. An in vivo study was performed to compare the effects of augmenting interlocking nail fixation ...

Objectives: Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) with dual cephalic screw configuration is now widely used for management of trochanteric region fracture. Good fracture reduction and intraoperative achievement optimal site compression are very important surgical steps proximal femoral nailing. There limited information available in literature regarding while fixation by PFN screws (lag anti-rotation scr...

We describe a patient with fractures of both bones of the forearm in whom flexible intramedullary nail fixation of the radius alone led to ulnar malunion and a symptomatic distal radio-ulnar joint subluxation. This was successfully treated by ulnar osteotomy.

Aim: Clinical outcome of displaced middle third clavicular fracture using intramedullary fixation by titanium elastic nail. Materials and Methods: 20 cases underwent closed reduction internal with Intra medullary The study was conducted from July 2020 to August 2022 admitted Narayana Medical College hospital, Nellore. We evaluated the Constant score determine outcomes.Results: All fractures got...

Femoral shaft fractures are correlated with frequent morbidity and mortality. It is a major musculoskeletal disorder caused by tremendous force applied to the femur. One of most common surgical treatments for fixation intramedullary nailing (IM), which utilises specially designed metal rod screws be implanted into medullary canal. However, severe bowing femur can result in mismatch between IM n...

Fixation of pathological fractures provides rapid pain relief and often restores mobility (Anderson et al 1978). The difficulty in achieving strong fixation in pathological bone may be overcome in part by adding bone cement (Harrington et a! 1976). This addition may, however, create fresh problems. The cement may harden before fracture reduction or implant insertion has been achieved, or some m...

Intertrochanteric fractures are significantly increasing in older adults. Treatment choices for trochanteric include intramedullary nail and extra medullary fixation, even though the appropriate treatment such remain controversial. The present study was aimed to assess optimal option intertrochanteric determine which method i.e. proximal femoral nailing (PFN) dynamic hip screw fixation (DHS) gi...
