Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of reamed versus nonreamed intramedullary nailing for femoral fractures. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical controlled trials (CCTs) were identified from MEDLINE (1966-2004.5), EMBASE (1966-2004.5), Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2004), Cochrane Musculoskeletal Injuries Group Database (2004.5), and CBM disc (1979-2004.5). We handsearched Chinese Journal of Orthopaedy (from establishment to May 2004) and Orthopaedic Journal of China (from establishment to May 2004) . RCTs and CCTs were included. Data were extracted by two reviewers with designed extraction form. RevMan 4.2.3 software was used for data analysis. Results Five RCTs and two CCTs were included. The combined results of meta-analysis showed that reamed intramedullary nailing for femoral fractures can reduce the rate of nonunion (RR=0.38, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.83, P=0.01) and the rate of implant failure (RR=0.42, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.89, P=0.02). Conclusions Compared with nonreamed intramedullary nailing for femoral fractures, reamed intramedullary nailing can reduce the rates of nonunion and implant failure. However, the relation between reaming or pulmonary complications, the time of union, infection, malunion, operative time, and blood loss needs further study.
Objective To explore the value of electromagnetic navigation interlocking intramedullary nail in the treatment of femoral shaft fracture. Methods Between July 2012 and October 2013, 53 cases of femoral shaft fracture were treated. There were 40 males and 13 females, aged 16-52 years (mean, 38.3 years). The causes of injury were traffic accident in 28 cases, falling from height in 11 cases, falling in 7 cases, crush injury in 4 cases, and other in 3 cases. Of 53 cases, there were 3 cases of open fracture (Gustilo I degree) and 50 cases of closed fracture. Fracture was located in the proximal femur in 17 cases, middle femur in 29 cases, and distal femur in 7 cases. According to Winquist classification, 7 cases were rated as type I, 8 cases as typeⅡ, 22 cases as typeⅢ, and 16 cases as type IV; according to AO classification, 18 cases were rated as type 32-A, 28 cases as type 32-B, and 7 cases as type 32-C. The time from injury to operation was 3-11 days (mean, 5 days). Distal interlocking intramedullary nail was implanted using electromagnetic navigation. Results The distal locking nail operation with interlocking intramedullary nail was successfully completed under electromagnetic navigation; the one-time success rate of distal locking nail operation reached 100%; and the locking nail time was 5.0-9.5 minutes (mean, 7.0 minutes). Healing of incision by first intention was obtained after operation, and no complication of skin necrosis, infection, and sinus tract occurred. Fifty-three cases were all followed up 5-12 months (mean, 9 months). One case had hip pain and weaken middle gluteal muscle strength, and the symptoms disappeared after removing the nail. During the follow-up period, no broken nails, nail exit, infection, or re-fracture occurred. All fractures achieved clinical healing, and the healing time was 8-22 weeks (mean, 14.5 weeks). In 49 patients followed up 8 months, the Lysholm score was excellent in 44 cases, good in 4 cases, and acceptable in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 98%. Conclusion Electromagnetic navigation system is safe and reliable, with the advantages of high positioning accuracy, short operation time, and no radiation, the clinical application of the system for distal locking nail operation can obtain excellent short-term effectiveness.

Methods A total of 90 patients with femoral shaft fractures were selected from June 2010 to March 2011, including 48 males and 42 females aged from 17 to 58 years (mean 38 years). In these 90 patients, open fracture was in 28 and closed fracture was in 62. Fracture site: upper 1/3 fracture was in 33, middle 1/3 fracture was in 35, lower 1/3 fracture was in 20 and multiple fractures was in 2. There were transverse fractures in 20 patients, oblique fractures in 30 patients and comminuted fractures in 40 patients. All of the patients were randomly divided into experimental group (46 patients) and control group (44 patients). The patients in the control group underwent the routine treatment before the orthopedic surgery; besides the routine treatment, the patients in the experimental group were given the rehabilitation education and training before the orthopedic surgery. Results The hospital duration in the rehabilitation group was (5.35±1.27) days while in the control group was (7.67±1.85) days, the difference was statistically significant (Plt;0.05). There were 7 cases who had complications in rehabilitation group compared with 16 patients in the control group; the incidence of the complications in the rehabilitation group (15.2%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (36.4%) (Plt;0.05). After the treatment for 5 days, the therapeutic effect in rehabilitation group were excellent in 35 cases, good in 6 cases, middle in 3 cases and poor in 2 cases (with the good rate of 89.1%); while in the control group were excellent in 25 cases, good in 5 cases, middle in 12 cases and poor in 2 cases (with the good rate of 68.2%); the difference was significant between the two groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation education and training could prevent the perioperative complications in patients with femoral shaft fracture, decrease the pain and edema, speed up the turnover of hospital beds, and improve the patients’ quality of life.
Objective To describe the design and application of a new intramedullary controlled dynamic nailing(ICDN).〓〖WTHZ〗Methods The new ICDN was made of a stainlesssteel alloy, consists of a nail shaft, innerrod, tensile screw, end cape and two interlocked screws. From December 2005 toFebruary 2007, 48 cases of femoral shaft fractures were treated with ICDN. There were 16 females and 32 males with a mean age of 36.6 years (range, 16-48years). Injury was caused by traffic accident in 26 cases, falling from a height in14, sportsrelated in 7 and crush injury in 1 case. According to Winquist classification, Thirtyseven cases were classified as typeⅠ(13 cases of typeⅠ-1,23 cases of Ⅰ-2 and 1 case of Ⅰ-3), eleven as type Ⅱ fracture ( 2 cases oftype Ⅱ-1, 8 cases of Ⅱ-2 and 1 case of Ⅱ-3). The time from injury to admission was an hour to a week. Emergency operation was performed in 19 cases and the other 29 patients were given operation within 3 days. Results All cases were followed up for an average of 5 months (3-12 months). Among them, the average healing period was 21 weeks (826 weeks) and no nonunion, delayed union and breakage of nailings occurred. The complications included 2 infections, 5 pains, and 4 deformities. Based on Johner and Wrubs standard, the results were excellent in 39 cases, good in 7 cases and fair in 2 cases, The excellent and good rate was 95.8%. Conclusions ICDN has excellent biomechanical characteristics which can provide a flexible fixation in treating femoral shaft fractures. The operation is simple and is one of the good techniquesin treating femoral shaft fractures.
【Abstract】 Objective The auto-control micro-motion intramedullary locking nail (AMLN) is designed, to reducethe incidence of delayed union and non-union of femoral shaft fractures fixed by interlocking intramedullary nails, and toobserve the cl inical effect of self-design AMLN in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. Methods The distal and promixalnails were connected by the micro-motion locking structure, which could cause 1.0-1.5 mm axial micro-motion between fracture gaps. It could produce physical stimulus and conduction between fracture gaps in the course of fracture union. From December 2003 to May 2006, 32 cases of femoral shaft fractures were treated with AMLN, including 21 males and 11 females with the average age of 31.2 years (ranging from 20 years to 43 years). The trauma resulted from fall wounds in 3 cases, crash injuries in 1 case and car accidents in 28 cases. Twenty-nine cases were fresh fractures in different parts of the femoral shaft with transverse, obl ique, spiral and comminuted fractures of type I, II, III and IV. Three cases were old non-union fractures. The fresh fractures were treated by closed AMLN fixation, while the old fractures were treated by open AMLN nails after routine implantation of self bone. Results All the 32 cases were followed up for the average time of 11.5 months (rangeing from 8 months to 22 months). The X-ray films showed the fractures were healed 4.0 to 7.5 months after the operation, with the mean time of 5.1 months, and no break of the nail happened. One nail mildly bent in the comminuted fracture, and 2 patients felt sl ightly unwell at the needl ing point. According to the Klemm criterion for function, 26 cases were excellent, 5 good, 1 fair, and the choiceness rate was 96.88%. Conclusion With a suitable design, AMLN is easy to perform and helpful to quicken fracture union, and it is effective to treat femoral shaft fractures.
