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 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 To discuss the techniques and advantages of closed reduction and intramedullary nail ing intreating femoral shaft fracture without cannulated femoral reamer. Methods From January 2006 to June 2007, 24 cases offemoral shaft fracture were treated with closed reduction and intramedullary nail ing. Among them, there were 14 males and 10 females, with the average age of 38.3 years (ranging from 18 years to 63 years), with 7 left legs and 17 right legs. The average course of the disease was 7.6 days (ranging from 3 days to 20 days). According to the AO typing, there were 5 cases of type A, 6 of type B, 7 of type C1, 2 of type C2 and 4 of type C3. Closed reduction was achieved with manipulation and reaming of femoral canal was instructed by fluoroscopy. Results The operation time lasted from 100 minutes to 170 minutes, with the average time of 128.3 minutes. One patient was given a transfusion of 400 mL, and others were not. Twenty cases were followed up with the average time of 13.1 months (ranging from 6 months to 24 months). A mild to large amount of bony callus was showed on X-ray films 6 to 12 weeks postoperatively. Walking without crutches began at the average week of 22.2 (ranging from 15 to 30) postoperatively. Range of motion of the knee was 0° to 145.5°. No infection or break of the internal fixator occurred. Myositis ossificans with pain and insufficient flexion of hip (120°) happened in 1 case and the pain disappeared after non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs were taken. Nonsymptomatic myositis ossificans occurred in 2 cases and no treatment was needed. Conclusion Closed reductionand intramedullary nail ing can help to protect the blood supply of fracture fragments and provide central fixation. The operation process will be more compl icated if cannulated femoral reamer is not available.

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 compare the effectiveness of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and reconstruction nail with minimally invasive technique for ipsilateral femoral shaft and extracapsular hip fractures in young and middle-aged patients. Methods Sixty-nine young and middle-aged patients with ipsilateral femoral shaft and extracapsular hip fractures were treated between January 2000 and August 2010, and their data were analyzed retrospectively. Of them, fractures were fixed by reconstruction nail in 44 cases (reconstruction nail group) and by PFNA in 25 cases (PFNA group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, weight, injury cause, fracture type, or disease duration between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). The operation time, blood loss, fracture healing time, complications, and functional outcomes were compared between 2 groups to evaluate the effectiveness. Results The operation time and blood loss in the PFNA group were significantly less than those in the reconstruction nail group (P lt; 0.05). The follow-up time was 12-38 months (mean, 20 months ) in the PFNA group and was 12-48 months (mean, 22 months) in the reconstruction nail group. No complication occurred as follows in 2 groups: wound infection, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, breakage of the implants, avascular necrosis of the femoral head, or serious rotation and shortening deformity of lower limbs. In the PFNA group and the reconstruction nail group, 1 patient underwent technical difficulty in nail implant and 7 patients underwent technical difficulty in proximal locking screw, respectively; 3 patients and 6 patients had intra-operative iatrogenic fracture of femoral shaft, respectively; and delayed union of femoral shaft was observed in 1 patient and 2 patients, respectively. The complication rate was 20% (5/25) in the PFNA group and 34% (15/44) in the reconstruction nail group, showing no significant difference (χ2=1.538, P=0.215). No significant difference was found in fracture healing time between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). At last follow-up, there was no significant difference in Harris hip score and Evanich knee score between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion PFNA or reconstruction nail with minimally invasive technique is a good method to treat ipsilateral femoral shaft and extracapsular hip fractures, but the PFNA is superior to the reconstruction nail because of simple operation.
