Locking Intramedullary Nailing For Distal Femoral Fractures
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The study is aimed at studying the fracture patterns, mechanism of injury, union rates and functional results of supracondylar fractures of femur treated with retrograde intramedullary G.S.H.(GREEN SELIGSON AND HENRY) interlocking nail. In present study, 31 patients of supracondylar fractures of femur surgically managed by with retrograde intramedullary G.S.H. interlocking nail, between August 2012 to September 2014 in government general hospital Kurnool were included. The average age of the patient is 39.7 years, road traffic accidents being the most common mode of accident with 90.3%.Closed fractures were commonest with 90.3%,comminuted fractures were seen in 74.1%,AO type A were commonest with 70.96%. The outcome assessment showed that in 77.4% patients union was achieved in 22-24, knee stiffness was seen in 70.9%, delayed union in 9.7%, non union in 6.4% and infection in 19.3%. By analyzing the present study data, we feel that retrograde intramedullary G.S.H. interlocking nail appears to be the implant of choice in the management of supracondylar fractures of femur
