A study of management of subtrochanteric fractures of femur with reconstruction nail
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Background:Injuries to the femur the longest bone in the body present challenging situation to the Orthopaedic Surgeon. These fractures account for 10% to 34% of all hip fractures. Advantages of intramedullary devices included retained blood supply to bone fragments, less operative blood lossand less disruption of the environment.Aims And objectives: The aim of this study is to study the various fracture problems of proximal femur, the management of these fracture with reconstruction nail, the management of these fracture on the basis of Russell Taylor classification,Materials and methods: Intramedullary Nailing with closed reduction was chosen. This study was performed in MGM Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad.Patients Having simple subtrochanteric,subtrochanteric with intertrochanteric extension and communited subtrochanteric fracture were included in study.Result and conclusions:were drawn after assessing immediate and late complications,and difficulty while performing surgeries.complications like knee stiffness,shortening,rotational deformity, and Non union were faced.
