Disease relevance of Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary

• STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate material with high echogenicity demonstrated by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) during the reamed intramedullary nailing procedure in long-bone fracture patients, and to analyze BAL fluid (BALF) in these patients as well as in those with the fat embolism syndrome (FES) [1].

High impact information on Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary

• Nitrogen-gas injection from a power reamer: a complication of closed intramedullary nailing of the femur. Technical note [3].
• Intramedullary nailing with a solid titanium nail can result in significant bone ingrowth [4].
• DESIGN: Prospective randomization by sealed-envelope technique of eighty-four patients into two study groups: those treated by intramedullary nailing (IMN group; n = 38) and those treated by compression plating (PLT group; n = 46) [5].
• The effect of unreamed and reamed intramedullary nailing on the urinary excretion of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 metabolites in patients with tibial shaft fractures [6].
• OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of unreamed and reamed intramedullary nailing on the systemic production of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2 as assessed, respectively, by determinations of urinary 2,3-dinor-6-ketoprostaglandin F1alpha and 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 excretion [6].

Anatomical context of Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary

• In the Orthopaedic Department in Patras University 427 intramedullary nailings in the lower limbs were performed between 1989 and 1994 and retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the range of complications [7].
• We hypothesized that less malalignment and complications occur with intramedullary nailing of distal third tibia fractures (42A, B, C) after the implementation of orthopedic trauma surgeons to this level II community hospital [8].

Associations of Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary with chemical compounds

• Seventy-five patients with 81 femoral shaft fractures were treated with unreamed antegrade intramedullary nailing using a titanium alloy implant (AIM femoral nail, ACE Medical) with static interlocking [9].
• CONCLUSION: Only reamed intramedullary nailing elevates urinary 2,3-dinor-6-ketoprostaglandin F1alpha and 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 concentrations and their ratio (thromboxane A2/prostacyclin production) in patients with simple tibial shaft fractures [6].
• Prophylactic intramedullary nailing with nails of suitable calibre most effectively achieves this goal [10].
• Although closed intramedullary nailing is used most often, open nailing with methylmethacrylate is appropriate for destructive lesions in which rigid fixation cannot be achieved with closed nailing [11].
• This paper presents a background to the development of such an implant of self-reinforced polylactic acid, and some recent results from different studies using these rod shaped implants for intramedullary nailing of both experimental and clinical fractures on animals [12].

Gene context of Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary

• We reviewed seven patients with established non-union of a shaft of humerus fracture, treated by locked intramedullary nailing using the Intramedullary Supracondylar Nail (IMSC Nail; Smith & Nephew Richards, Memphis TN) [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary

• To correct angulation and to avoid plaster immobilization in diaphyseal fractures in childhood, intramedullary nailing with flexible titanium pins is an easy and safe method [14].
