Greater trochanteric versus piriformis fossa entry for antegrade femoral diaphyseal nailing: A study to establish technical superiority
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Femoral shaft fractures are best managed surgically. This study included a group of 40 randomly distributed patients with femoral diaphyseal fractures. Each group of randomly distributed patients consisted of 20 patients. In the first group the entry point for the femoral nail was chosen to be the greater trochanter and in the second group, the entry point was chosen to be the piriformis fossa. It was deduced that in the group chosen to have the greater trochanteric entry, there was less consumption of image intensifier time, lesser operating time, the incisional length in cm was smaller and even the blood loss was less.
