Hip Abductor Muscle Weakness after Antegrade Nailing of Femoral Fractures

Nailing of femoral fractures is now considered as the standard line of management, although having many advantages, this technique carries some risks related to the technique, in this short review we will handle the issue of hip abductor muscle weakness after antegrade nailing of femoral fractures.

Percutaneous antegrade nailing with reductor-T tape pin is effective and well tolerated in patients with ipsilateral multisegmental femoral shaft fractures

Objective This study was performed to investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous antegrade nailing with a reductor-T tape pin in the treatment of ipsilateral multisegmental femoral shaft fractures (IMFSFs). Methods Nineteen patients with IMFSFs underwent antegrade nailing with a reductor-T tape pin by percutaneous techniques. The operation time, reduction time, fluoroscopy time, blood loss, fracture union time, and complications were recorded. Results All 19 patients (100%) achieved technical success. The mean and median operation time were 62.42±16.27 and 60 (range, 40–105) minutes, respectively; the mean and median reduction time were 11.47±3.78 and 10 (range, 8–22) minutes, respectively; the mean and median fluoroscopy time were 16.63±6.10 and 15 (range, 10–35) s, respectively; and the mean and median blood loss were 185.26±62.75 and 180 (range, 110–350) mL, respectively. Additionally, all 19 patients (100%) achieved fracture union within a mean and median time of 3.95±1.75 and 3 (range, 3–9) months, respectively; most patients [n=14 (73.7%)] achieved fracture union within 3 months. No obvious complications occurred during the study. Conclusion Antegrade nailing with a reductor-T tape pin by a percutaneous technique is effective and well tolerated in patients with IMFSFs.
