Comparison between reamed and unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing in femoral shaft fractures

Year 2001, Volume: 35 Issue: 4, 347 - 350, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Objectives: We compared our results in the treatment of femoral fractures with reamed or unreamed intramedullary femoral nailing.
Methods: Patients who underwent treatment with reamed (n=33; 13 females, 20 males; mean age 38 years; range 18 to 69 years) or unreamed (n=29; 8 females, 21 males; mean age 32 years; range 19 to 60 years) intramedullary nailing for isolated femoral fractures were included. The results were compared with respect to union and complications. All the patients had closed fractures. Follow-up examinations were made in 6th, 10th, and 16th weeks postoperatively.
Results: The mean durations for union were 23.4 weeks and 25.5 weeks in patients treated with reamed and unreamed nailing, respectively. The only significant difference between the two treatment groups with respect to complications was the occurrence of ectopic ossification (7 patients, 21.2% vs 8 patients, 27.6%; p<0.05).
Conclusion: Intramedullary nailing is the method of choice for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. No significant differences seem to exist between reamed and unreamed nailing with respect to bone healing time and development of complications.

Femur cisim kırıklarında oymalı ve oymasız kilitli intramedüller çivilemenin karşılaştırılması

Year 2001, Volume: 35 Issue: 4, 347 - 350, 11.09.2006

Abstract

Amaç: Femur cisim kırıklarında uyguladığımız oymalı veya oymasız intramedüller çiviler ile tedaviler sonuçları açısından karşılaştırıldı.
Çalışma planı: İzole femur kırığı nedeniyle oymalı intramedüller çivileme (n=33; 13 kadın, 20 erkek; ort. yaş 38; dağılım 18-69) ve oymasız intramedüller çivileme (n=29; 8 kadın, 21 erkek; ort. yaş 32; dağılım 19-60) ile tedavi edilen olgular kaynama süreleri ve komplikasyonlar açısından değerlendirildi. Olguların tümünde kapalı kırık vardı. Kontroller ameliyat sonrası 6, 10 ve 16. haftalarda yapıldı.
Sonuçlar: Oymalı çivileme grubunda ortalama kaynama süresi 23.4 hafta, oymasız çivileme grubunda 25.5 hafta bulundu. Komplikasyonlar açısından heterotopik kemikleşme oranlarındaki fark dışında (7 hasta, %21.2 ve 8 hasta, %27.6; p<0.05), iki uygulama arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı.
Çıkarımlar: İntramedüller çivileme, femur cisim kırıklarının tedavisinde günümüzün seçkin yöntemidir. Oymalı veya oymasız çivileme seçiminin kırık iyileşme süresi ve komplikasyonları üzerinde belirgin bir farkı olmadığı sonucuna varıldı.
