Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Jones Fractures

Foot & Ankle International, 2001
Background: Jones fractures of the fifth metatarsal can be stabilized using intramedullary screw fixation techniques. A range of screw diameters from 4.5 mm to 6.5 mm can be used, but the optimal screw for this procedure has yet to be defined. In clinical practice, we have observed that failure is more likely when smaller diameter screws are used ...

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Intramedullary fixation is the latest in a variety of techniques that have been developed to manage distal radius fractures. Intramedullary nailing of these fractures combines the soft-tissue advantages of a less invasive surgical approach with the biomechanical advantages of locking screw technology.

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURES

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957
• A pathological fracture increases the suffering of a patient, makes nursing care more difficult, predisposes the patient to hypostatic pneumonia and decubitus ulcers, and sometimes interferes with necessary treatment of the underlying disease. The insertion of an intramedullary nail contributes to the comfort and prolongs the life of the patient in ...

Intramedullary Fixation Of Unstable Metacarpal Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2006
Intramedullary stabilization of metacarpal shaft and neck fractures is a relatively simple, cost-effective, and safe technique with good published outcomes (Fig. 9); however definite advantages over other techniques of fracture stabilization, or indeed simple early mobilization in some instances, have not been clearly demonstrated.

Hip fractures following intramedullary nailing fixation for femoral fractures

Injury, 2022
Proximal peri-implant femoral fractures occur following intramedullary nailing (IMN) fixation for trochanteric, femoral shaft, and distal femoral fractures. However, analyses of secondary hip fractures (SHFs) using large clinical samples are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to report the incidence and clinical outcomes of SHF after nailing fixation (IMN or

Stable Fixation and Immediate Weight-Bearing After Combined Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing and Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Noncomminuted Distal Interprosthetic Femur Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2018
Summary: With an aging population, treatment of interprosthetic femur fractures continues to pose a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Retrograde intramedullary nailing combined with open reduction internal fixation using a tissue-preserving plating ...

Flexible Intramedullary Fixation of Femoral Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988
Fifty femoral fractures in 47 patients were treated by the insertion of flexible intramedullary Ender rods and observed until fracture healing was complete. Both condylocephalic and trochanteric approaches were used with a preference for the latter when biomechanically feasible.

Metacarpal Fracture Fixation with Intramedullary Screws

The Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume)
Background: Intramedullary screws (IMS) have become a viable option for metacarpal fracture fixation. To further appraise their utility, this study assessed clinical and patient-reported short- and medium-term outcomes of IMS fixation for extra-articular metacarpal fractures.

Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Lateral Malleolus Fractures

Foot & Ankle International, 1994
A biomechanical evaluation of intramedullary versus buttress plate and lag screw fixation of lateral malleolus fractures is combined with a clinical evaluation of 44 patients with lateral malleolus fractures who underwent intramedullary screw fixation.

Intramedullary Fixation for Pediatric Unstable Forearm Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2002
Forty-nine children with diaphyseal both-bone forearm fractures were treated with either both-bone intramedullary wire fixation (24), single ulnar intramedullary wire fixation (22), or single radial intramedullary wire fixation (3). Six fractures were open and 43 were closed.
