Intramedullary Fixation of Fractures

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1955
Abstract Extract Mr. President, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for inviting me to address your Association this morning. Before commencing on my subject, I wish to pay tribute to your profession. The pathways of our professions have met on many occasions during the centuries we have practised our respective arts and sciences ...

Equivalent union rates between intramedullary nail and locked plate fixation for distal femur periprosthetic fractures - a systematic review.

Injury, 2020
BACKGROUND The incidence of periprosthetic fracture following total knee arthroplasty continues to rise as the number of knee arthroplasty procedures increases.

INTERLOCKING INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF HAND FRACTURES

Orthopedics, 1993
Abstract Reduction and stabilization can be especially difficult in treating comminuted hand fractures with bone loss or nonunion. Two cases are presented to illustrate a method of intramedullary fixation using an AO mini fragment reconstruction plate, which allows interlocking fixation proximally and distali).

Intramedullary Nail Fixation for Metacarpal Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Metacarpal fractures are common, especially in men, and account for about 10% of all fractures in patients. The fracture pattern and location, and the degree of angulation are important in determining the optimal treatment approach. Although metacarpal fractures can be treated nonsurgically, certain indications such as irreducible fractures ...

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF METACARPAL FRACTURES

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957
• The treatment of fractures by inserting longitudinal intramedullary wires for fixation has been applied in 30 patients with metacarpal fractures. Local anesthesia was obtained for fractures of the fifth metacarpal (80 % of this series) by blocking the ulnar nerve, which is easily accessible at the elbow. Reduction is accomplished with direct pressure

Intramedullary Fixation of Midshaft Clavicle Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2017
Summary: Clavicle fractures are among the most common fractures occurring in the general population, and the vast majority are localized in the midshaft portion of the bone. Management of midshaft clavicle fractures remains controversial. Although many can be managed nonoperatively, certain patient populations and fracture patterns, such as ...

Intramedullary Headless Screw Fixation for Metacarpal Fractures

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2020
Multiple techniques have been proposed for metacarpal fracture fixation, including percutaneous Kirschner-wires, interfragmentary screws, plate and screw constructs, intramedullary (IM) nails, and cannulated IM headless screws. Each of these treatment options has its proposed advantages and disadvantages, and there remains no consensus on the optimal ...

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009
Intramedullary fixation has recently received increased enthusiasm as an option for distal radius fracture fixation. Indications for this fracture fixation technique should be limited to predominately displaced extra-articular or simple intra-articular distal radius fractures. Intramedullary fixation permits limited soft tissue dissection and insertion

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 ...
