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

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 starting points were employed.

A New Biological Method Of Internal Fixation Of The Femur

http://facta.junis.ni.ac.yu/mab/mab2001/mab2001-10.html

Mitkovic 2001 Facta Universitatis Vol. 8, No 1, 2001 pp. 50 - 53 Abstract -> Full Text
New internal fixator that provides fixation while application can be performed by minimally invasive method with no contact between the implant and bone fragment in fracture area. The device is selfdynamisible.

Conversion of External Fixation to Intramedullary Nailing for Femoral Shaft Fractures in Polytrauma

http://www.hwbf.org/ota/am/ota98/otapa/OTA98402.htm

OTA Paper 1998:
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of this two-stage treatment, we retrospectively reviewed the records of 63 polytrauma patients with 69 femoral fractures treated with conversion of external fixation to IM nailing from 1989 to 1997 at our institution.

Damage Control in Femoral Shaft Fractures

http://www.hwbf.org/ota/am/ota04/otapa/OTA04951.htm

OTA Paper 2004: Risk of Local Infection?
We aimed to determine the rate of wound infection after use of DCO procedures and primary IMN for femoral fracture stabilization in severely injured patients.
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that infection rates after DCO for femoral fractures are not significantly different than those observed after primary IMN.

Diaphyseal Femur Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic71.htm

eMedicine article on diaphyseal femur fractures.
Orthopedic surgeons often encounter diaphyseal femur fractures. Because these fractures most often result from high-energy trauma, one must have a high index of suspension for complications or other injuries.

Distal Femoral Physeal Fractures Wheeless

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 after closed reduction.
