Treatment of Intertrochanteric and Subtrochanteric Fractures with Ender??s Intramedullary Rods

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1980
A series of 100 patients was treated with Ender's rods for intertrochanteric fractures, subtrochanteric fractures and intertrochanteric pathologic lesions. Healing occurred within 4 months in all 85 of the patients who could be followed, and fractures were prevented in all 4 of the patients with pathologic lesions.

Closed Intramedullary Rodding of Pathologic Fractures with Supplemental Cement

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
Internal fixation, supplemented with methylmethacrylate to fill bone defects, is the standard treatment for pathologic fractures. Unfortunately, internal fixation procedures often entail substantial blood loss and a not inconsequential risk of infection, problems with which the debilitated patient is poorly able to cope.

Curvature of the Femur and the Proximal Entry Point for an Intramedullary Rod

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987
The degree of anterior curvature of 14 human femurs and four currently marketed intramedullary rods was analyzed with the use of an interactive graphic computer program. The radius of curvature of the femurs ranged from 188.5 to 68.9 cm (average, 114.4 cm).

In vitro biomechanical comparison of 3.5 mm LC-DCP/intramedullary rod and 5 mm clamp-rod internal fixator (CRIF)/intramedullary rod fixation in a canine femoral gap model.

Veterinary surgery, 2014
OBJECTIVE To compare the biomechanical properties of clamp rod internal fixation (CRIF)/rod and LC-DCP/rod constructs in a canine femoral gap model. STUDY DESIGN Cadaveric biomechanical study. SAMPLE POPULATION Canine femora (n = 10 pair).

Femoral Shaft Nonunion Treated by a Fluted Intramedullary Rod

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985
Twenty-five consecutive nonunions or delayed unions of the femoral shaft were treated by a fluted intramedullary rod. Fourteen patients were men; 11 were women. Sixteen fractures represented failures of closed management. Five patients had failures of primary open reduction and internal fixation. Four patients had had one attempt at operative treatment

Use of an Intramedullary Rod for the Treatment of Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2005
The use of an intramedullary rod as described by Williams, combined with implantation of an autogenous bone graft, resulted in union of an established congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia in nine of ten patients. One patient needed additional bone-grafting before union occurred.

Difficulties during removal of fluted femoral intramedullary rods.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1989
The difficulties that were encountered during removal of a fluted intramedullary femoral rod from six patients were reviewed. The mechanisms of failure included metal breakage at three different locations along the rod or the rod extractor. Three of the six rods were left in place due to difficulties in removal.

Closed intramedullary rodding of pediatric adolescent forearm fractures

Operative Techniques in Orthopaedics, 1993
There are few indications for operative fixation of diaphyseal forearm fractures in children. When indicated, fixation can be achieved easily and with low morbidity by placing an intramedullary rod in one or both of the fractured bones. Fixation is not rigid, so external immobilization is required.

Case Report: Closed Removal of a Segmental Intramedullary Rod: A Technical Report

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1996
This report describes a technique for removal of a segmental broken intramedullary femoral rod. Using a closed, stacked wire technique, removal of the broken hardware can be accomplished in a relatively easy and expeditious manner.
