Heterotopic Ossification After Femoral Intramedullary Rodding
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1993Heterotopic ossification (HO) after femoral intramedullary rodding is a significant complication of the procedure. One hundred eighteen cases of femoral roddings performed on 113 patients were available for review. The data were computerized and evaluated using univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis.

A fluted intramedullary rod for subtrochanteric fractures.
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1979A new intramedullary rod has been developed for the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. The stepped fluted rod is designed as a single unit and has exceptional bending strength and rigidity as well as excellent torsional load-carrying capacity. It has been used successfully in eighteen patients with a variety of subtrochanteric fractures. Union was

Experiences with Lengthening of the Femur over an Intramedullary Rod
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 19561. The intramedullary rod has been used to control the alignment of the osteotomized fragments in twenty-three operations performed for the lengthening of the femur, and it has been found to be eminently satisfactory, eliminating many of the difficulties which were formerly encountered in maintaining the position of the osteotomized fragments. 2.

Removal of Intramedullary Rods After Femoral Shaft Fracture
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 1992We are reporting a retrospective review of the removal of 60 intramedullary rods in 58 patients. All fractures had healed at the time of rod extraction. The implant was removed from 34 asymptomatic patients (36 femurs). Twenty-four patients (24 femurs) had preoperative symptoms attributed to the femoral rod.

Femoral Shaft Nonunion Treated by a Fluted Intramedullary Rod
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1985Twenty-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

Anatomical Curvature of the Femoral Medullary Canal for Intramedullary Rodding
Journal of Biomechanics, 1987The shape of most of the intramedullary and interlocking nails commonly used has been determined empirically as a segment of a circle. The radius of curvature of the Kuntscher nail, e.g., has a length of 3500 mm, the Aesculap-Kuntscher 3500 mm, the Grosse-Kempf 3000 mm, the AO 4000 mm, and the Klemm-Schellmann 3500 mm.

Curvature of the Femur and the Proximal Entry Point for an Intramedullary Rod
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987The 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).

Treatment of Intertrochanteric and Subtrochanteric Fractures with Ender's Intramedullary Rods
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1980A 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, 1984Internal 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.

Humerus Nonunion After Intramedullary Rod Fixation
Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2003Summary The results of operative treatment of humeral nonunion after intramedullary rod fixation have not been as good as treatment for nonunion after nonoperative treatment or plate fixation. This could be in part the result of the shoulder damage that occurs when removing a well-buried anterograde intramedullary fixation device.
