Load Transfer in Tibial Intramedullary Nailing: Effects of Fracture Level, Screw Configuration and Nail-Canal Clearance. [PDF]
J Orthop ResABSTRACT Intramedullary nails are widely recognized for their high stabilization capacity and are considered the gold standard for tibial fracture treatment. However, hardware failure, especially of distal screws, is frequently reported, especially in cases involving distal fractures.

Patellar Malalignment Combined With Deformed Valgus Knee Treated by Distal Femoral Varus Osteotomy and Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing. [PDF]
Orthop SurgPatellar malalignment combined with a deformed valgus knee is treated. After the nail inlet hole is created, the distal femur is obliquely osteotomized by creating a posterior cam on the distal bony fragment. The cam is consequently inserted into the marrow cavity of the proximal bony fragment and the desired axis of the lower extremity is realigned. A

METHOD FOR REMOVING BROKEN PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAILS USING EXISTING SCREW HOLE [PDF]
Acta Ortopédica Brasileira, 2018 The use of intramedullary nailing to treat proximal femoral fractures has increased in recent years. Nail breakage is a rare complication of intramedullary nailing of the femur, and generally occurs at the non-united fracture site.

Study of treatment of short oblique and transverse fractures near isthmus of femur
Journal of the Scientific Society, 2014 Background: Currently, the standard treatment for femoral shaft fractures in adults is intramedullary nailing. Objectives: Comparative assessment of results with open Kuntscher′s nailing (K-nailing) and closed interlocking intramedullary nail in case of ...

Pulmonary Dysfunction in Patients with Femoral Shaft Fracture Treated with Intramedullary Nailing [PDF]
, 2001 Background: This study was undertaken to determine whether alveolar dead space increases during intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures and whether alveolar dead space predicts postoperative pulmonary dysfunction in patients undergoing ...
