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...

Complex proximal femoral fractures in the elderly managed by reconstruction nailing

Location: http://www.traumamanagement.org/content/1/1/7

Conclusion Favourable fixation of unstable complex femoral fractures in the elderly population can be achieved with the Russell-Taylor reconstruction nail. However, use of this device in this frail population was associated with a high implant complication and mortality rate that undoubtedly reflected the severity of the injury sustained, co-morbidity within the...

Revision of a nonunited subtrochanteric femoral fracture around a failed intramedullary nail

Location: http://www.jmedicalcasereports.com/content/5/1/87

Case presentation We report the case of an 80-year-old Caucasian woman with a subtrochanteric fracture originally treated using a trochanteric gamma nail which failed, resulting in a nonunion and fracture of its proximal end. The nonunion was revised with the removal of the broken trochanteric gamma nail, application of a condylar...

Lee & Ertl 2008
During the last 50 years, the treatment of subtrochanteric femur fractures has evolved with improved understanding of both fracture biology and biomechanics. Previously, nonsurgical treatment of these fractures was associated not only with significant shortening and malrotation but also with the morbidity and mortality of prolonged immobilization....
