A Critical Analysis of the Eccentric Starting Point for Trochanteric Intramedullary Femoral Nailing

Location: http://www.hwbf.org/ota/am/ota04/otapo/OTP04077.htm

OTA Poster 2004
The purpose of this study was to look at specific trochanteric entry sites to examine whether there is a "perfect" universal starting point. In addition, we examined the insertion angle, the trochanteric angle, the proximal bend, and the radius of curvature of four commonly used implants. Three different...

Distal Femoral Physeal Fractures Wheeless

Location: http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/distal_femoral_physeal_fractures

- account for approx 5% of all physeal fractures;
- displacement in sagittal plane is assoc with Neuro/Vascular injury in popliteal fossa and instability on closed reduction;
- common mechanism is hyperextension causing anterior displacement of epiphysis;
- displacement in coronal plane is not assoc with other injuries, & joint may be stable...
