Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Fracture of the shaft of femur is a commonly seen fracture in orthopedic practice, and it is frequently associated with injuries to other sites. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the Complications in Patients Undergoing Treatment for Femoral Shaft Fractures with Undreamed Intramedullary Nailing. Materials and Methods: The present prospective study was conducted in the department of Orthopedics, Government District Hospital, Dungarpur, Rajasthan. The variables studied in the survey included evidence of clinical and radiological union and associated postoperative complications. Complete union was considered when there was callus formation at all 4 cortices. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The present prospective study was conducted amongst 70 subjects of isolated femur fracture. The mean age of the subjects was 38.48+/-11.65 years. There were 7.1% (n=5) cases of nonunion. There were 4.3% (n=3) cases of nail breakage. There were 1.4% (n=1) case each of delayed union and rotational malunion. Conclusion: Only major complication associated with our study was non-union. Closed reduction of comminuted fractures provides a method of union without any chances of infection.
