Flexible intramedullary nailing in the treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the femur in preschool children [PDF]
Femur fractures in preschool children are mostly treated in a conservative way, by means of spica cast immobilisation or skin traction. In school age children the use of flexible intramedullary nails (FIN) is widely used and promoted.

Long-term stability of angle-stable versus conventional locked intramedullary nails in distal tibia fractures [PDF]
Background: In the last years intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for most displaced diaphyseal tibia fractures. In contrast intramedullary nailing of distal tibia fractures is accompanied by problems like decreased biomechanical ...

Plate fixation or intramedullary fixation of humeral shaft fractures – an update [PDF]
Sir—In April 2010 we published a meta-analysis with the title “Plate fixation or intramedullary fixation of humeral shaft fractures” in Acta Orthopaedica (Heineman et al. 2010). This meta-analysis was updated with a letter-to-the-editor in August 2010 in Acta Orthopaedica.

Anatomical images of the front (A) and back (B); the black lines indicated the muscles. One cable in “figure‐of‐eight” and another looped over the lesser trochanter were across the muscles to maintain reduction and resist traction. ABSTRACT Objective Intertrochanteric fractures (IF) in the elderly are often complicated by osteoporosis and high rates of

Elastic Locking Intramedullary Nails Fixation in Trimalleolar Fractures
Our retrospective study has statistically demonstrated that elastic locking intramedullary nails (ELIN) fixation is more effective than rigid internal fixation for trimalleolar fractures, providing evidence for the use of ELIN in the treatment of trimalleolar fractures.
