Femoral Nailing in a Porcine Model Causes Bone Marrow Emboli in the Lungs and Systemic Emboli in the Heart and Brain

JBJS Open Access
Background:. Shaft fractures of the femur are commonly treated with intramedullary nailing, which can release bone marrow emboli into the bloodstream. Emboli can travel to the lungs, impairing gas exchange and causing inflammation.

Optimisation of intramedullary nail alignment

The Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2014
Intramedullary nailing has been the subject of eight technical tips in the Annals 1 and yet none have addressed the problem of malalignment. Our technique uses a modified Poller (ie blocking) system to achieve optimal alignment. A 3mm K-wire is inserted medially across the medullary canal to guide the nail laterally. As the nail advances, it mounts the
