Salvage for nail breakage in femoral intramedullary nailing
Injury, 2015Proximal fractures of femur represent an important cause of hospitalization, morbidity and mortality for elderly patients. Femoral intramedullary nailing is an option to achieve a stable osteosynthesis but the breakage is a rare complication. The aim was to determinate the prevalence, causes, management and functional outcomes of this patients in our ...

Retrieval of a Broken Intramedullary Nail
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986This is a report of an improvised useful instrument for retrieving the distal fragment of a fractured intramedullary nail. Using a modified Kuntscher reaming guide and closed technique, the method was successfully used in three cases.

Intramedullary Nailing for Pilon Nonunions
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2017Summary: Nonunions are uncommon sequelae of tibial pilon fractures, but they can present a challenging problem to the treating surgeon. Treatment strategies can range from isolated bone grafting to revision plating depending on the type of nonunion and patient factors.

The Spectrum of Intramedullary Nailing of the Tibia
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Intramedullary nailing of the tibia has been used mainly in selected cases of fresh diaphyseal fractures and nonunions. However, with modern variations of the technique, the indications can be expanded considerably. Interlocking nailing has increased the number of fractures suitable for intramedullary fixation.

Closed Intramedullary Nailing of the Femur
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1971Closed nailing with intramedullary reaming for fractures of the femur is a safe method for treating most femoral-shaft fractures and for obtaining early functional recovery. A method of making the procedure available to more orthopaedic surgeons is presented.

Multiple myeloma and intramedullary nailing
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 2001We present the case of a 58 year old man who presented with a pathological fracture of his right humerus. Further investigations revealed he had IgA multiple myeloma. A skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in his contralateral humerus and both femora. He was treated with the insertion of intramedullary nails to both humeri and both femora, in addition ...

Intramedullary Nailing: Evolutions of Femoral Intramedullary Nailing: First to Fourth Generations
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2011Intramedullary femoral nailing is the gold standard for femoral shaft fixation but only in the past 27 years. This rapid replacement of closed traction and cast techniques in North America was a controversial and contentious evolution in surgery. As we enter the fourth generation of implant design, capabilities, and surgical technique, it is important ...

Malignancy Supervening on an Intramedullary Nail
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1991A primary, malignant, fibrous histiocytoma of bone occurring in association with a Hansen Street intramedullary nail occurred in a 39-year-old man. The physical and chemical characteristics of materials, in relation to the generation of secondary neoplasia are reviewed, but the problem of coincidence is difficult to exclude.

Interlocked Intramedullary Nailing of the Humerus
Orthopedics, 1989ABSTRACT: Indications for use of the intramedullary interlocked humeral nail are: pathologic fractures, including those with severe osteopenia alone; nonunions, especially those with bone atrophy and/or marked osteopenia; and humeral shaft fractures with comminution, bone loss, or other causes of instability not controlled by conventional treatment ...

Intramedullary Nailing of Fibular Fractures
Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2018The reamed intramedullary (IM) technique has many benefits. However, open plating is the most commonly used technique. Previously, IM stabilization was reserved for fibular fractures, which were given lower priority, and generally associated with injuries to the distal tibia or instances in which the soft tissue envelope was unsuitable for an open ...
