Four and a half years follow up resulted with 183 GAMMA nails, 42 Femoral and 37 Tibial locking nails being implanted. Gamma nails were used to treat significantly older patients (average age 68.2 years) in comparison with patients treated with Tibial nails (average age 37.1 years) and Femoral nails (average age 38.1 years).

Unstable intertrochanteric fractures are commonly treated with a cephalomedullary nail due to high failure rates with a sliding hip screw. The Omega3 Trochanteric Stabilizing Plate is a relatively new device that functions like a modified sliding hip screw with a proximal extension; however, its mechanical properties have not been evaluated. This study biomechanically compared a cephalomedullary nail, that is, Gamma3 Nail against the Omega3 plate. Unstable intertrochanteric fractures were created in 24 artificial femurs.

Abstract:

Background: The diaphyseal fracture of femur is universally treated with intramedullary interlocking nails. Non-union with properly done interlocking nail is not very common. When broken nail and non-union coexist, it becomes a real challenge. We reviewed our isolated femoral shaft fractures treated with antegrade interlocking nails that presented with broken nails, bolts and non-union. We discuss our simple technique of retrieval of broken nail units, their management and results with revision nailing. Materials and methods: We reviewed our cases of femoral intramedullary locking nails

Abstract:

In the treatment of ankle fractures, complications such as wound healing problems following open reduction and internal fixation are a major problem. An innovative alternative to this procedure offers a more minimally invasive nail stabilization. The purpose of this biomechanical study was to clarify whether this method was biomechanically comparable to the established method. First, the stability (range of motion, diastasis) and rotational stiffness of the native upper ankle were evaluated in eight pairs of native geriatric specimens. Subsequently, an unstable ankle fracture was created and f

Background: Interlocking Nail (ILN) is similar a solid intramedullary pins with screws or bolts passing through one and nail holes (locking effect). This implant mostly have been putted normograde, passing by trochanteric fossa of femur, although it is reported to be inserted through the knee, passing by fracture focus and ending close to proximal femur. It is carriedout especially when there is a comminuted fracture in distal third shaft of femur. Locking plate systems work as internal fixators with some advantages compared to conventional plates. It can be used combined with intramedullary p

Abstract:

A finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the stresses around nails and cortical bones in subtrochanteric (ST) fracture models fixed using short cephalomedullary nails (CMNs). A total 96 finite element models (FEMs) were simulated on a transverse ST fracture at eight levels with three different fracture gaps and two different distal locking screw configurations in both normal and osteoporotic bone. All FEMs were fixed using CMNs 200 mm in length. Two distal locking screws showed a wider safe range than 1 distal screw in both normal and osteoporotic bone at fracture gaps ≤ 3 mm. In no

Abstract:

Introduction. Trochanteric fractures of the femur are common in elderly individuals with osteoporosis. The use of cephalomedullary nails is increasing, and they are now the most commonly used fixation devices, especially for the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures. The nail breakage is not the most common complication of intramedullary nailing. Many scientific papers report nail breakage in a specific location: through the lag screw hole, the nail shaft, or the distal locking hole. Materials and Methods. We present a case of an 84-year-old patient treated with modular revision hip art

Background: Distal tibia fractures with extension into the ankle joint (AO/OTA type 43C) poses challenge for an orthopedic surgeon, due to its subcutaneous nature and precarious blood supply. Literature has described various treatment modalities; most commonly used being locking compression pates, external fixators and intramedullary multidirectional locking nails. Methods: This prospective study included 60 patients with distal tibia fracture AO type 43C1 and 43C2, managed with intramedullary multidirectional locking nails in a close manner, with intra-articular fragment fixation preceding th

Abstract:

Purpose. The humerus is a common site for metastasis. Intramedullary nail fixation has been reported to be the best form of fixation for this disease but complications occur. This study aimed to assess the use of a new humeral nail to treat pathological fractures and impending pathological fractures of the humerus. Methods. 29 patients received 31 Austofix locked intramedullary humeral nails: 25 for pathological fractures and 6 for impending fractures; 24 nails were inserted anterograde and 7 retrograde.

Abstract:

Since the removal of a metallic interlocking nail system leaves a blank cavity inside a healed bone, bioactive and biodegradation materials have been used instead to induce bone formation and eliminate complications of the material removal procedure. The previous study presented the possibility of an interlocking nail fabrication from polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), and hydroxyapatite (HA) using 3D printing, namely fused filament fabrication (FFF), for canine diaphyseal fractures. Therefore, a finite element analysis (FEA) was used to predict the maximum principal stress of this
