The results of unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing in long bone fractures

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the results of unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing in the treatment of unstable femoral and tibial diaphyseal fractures. Methods: Unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing was performed with closed or mini-open reduction in 77 fractures of 71 patients (6 females, 65 males, mean age 35 years; range 17-68 years). There were 42 tibial (27 closed, 15 open) and 35 femoral (25 closed, 10 open) fractures. Static or dynamic locking was performed. Partial weight-bearing was allowed in patients with static and dynamic locking after the observation of callus formation and three weeks after the operation, respectively. The results were evaluated according to the criteria by Johner and Wrush. Mean follow-up was18 months (range 6-30 months). Results: Union occurred in all patients. Painless full weight-bearing was achieved in 4.8 months in 27 patients and in 3.5 months in 15 patients with isolated tibial or femoral fractures, respectively. Radiologic healing took 5.6 months in tibial and 4.4 months in femoral fractures. Perfect or good results were obtained in 24 patients (88.5%) with isolated tibial, and in 14 patients (93%) with isolated femoral fractures. Chronic osteomyelitis occurred in four patients with open fractures. Proximal screws were broken in two patients with statically locked nails. No refractures occurred. Shortening more than 2 cm was found in six patients. Conclusion: We concluded that unreamed interlocking intramedullary nailing is an effective method in unstable femoral and tibial fractures, with the exception of fractures close to the joints.
