Interlocking intramedullary nailing in femoral shaft fractures: the effect of open or closed reduction on the results
Journal Title: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi - Year 2006, Vol 17, Issue 3
Abstract
Objectives: We compared the results of interlocking intramedullary nailing after closed or open reduction of femoral shaft fractures. Patients and methods: The study included 179 femoral shaft fractures of 170 patients (98 males, 72 females; mean age 37 years; range 18 to 82 years). The fractures were classified according to the Winquist-Hansen classification. All the patients underwent reamed interlocking intramedullary nailing after closed (n=101) or open (n=78) reduction. The two groups were compared with regard to operation time, amount of bleeding, union time, delayed union and nonunion rates, infections, and functional results. Results: The mean operation time (137±21 min) and the mean amount of bleeding (421±50 ml) were significantly increased in the open reduction group, which were 115±36 min and 296±44 ml in the closed reduction group (p
