The risk factors of nonunion after intramedullary nailing fixation of femur shaft fracture in middle age patients

Medicine, 2019
Although the optimal treatment for femur shaft fracture is intramedullary nailing fixation, nonunion still occurs. We determined the oligotrophic nonunion rate among femur fractures managed operatively and identified risk factors for reoperation.

Fibula Fracture: Plate versus Nail Fixation

Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery, 2020
Backgroud Intramedullary fixation has only uncommonly been used in the fibula although it may confer some advantages. Our goal was to investigate a single surgeon's learning curve with initial usage of an intramedullary device for fibular fixation based ...
