Background: Several techniques and tools are available for achieving fracture reduction
during antegrade intramedullary nailing of femur fractures. Aims: To compare results of …

Surgical techniques range from closed or open intramedullary nailing, plating, lag screws
with neutralization plate, bridge plating and external fixator. Intramedullary fixation of femoral …

Purpose In a level 1 university trauma center, an explorative randomized controlled study
was performed to compare soft tissue damage and functional outcome after antegrade …

Purpose To compare treatment results obtained using the trochanteric (Sirus nail) entry
portal with those obtained using the Piriformis fossa (M/DN) entry portal during …

Purpose The choice of entry point, Greater trochanter (GT), or Piriformis entry (PE) for
antegrade intramedullary nailing (IMN) of the femur is crucial. This study was performed to …

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate whether the use of a new femoral nail,
specifically designed to be inserted through the greater trochanter, could eliminate the …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the clinical application of
the technique of interlocking intramedullary (IM) nailing via an entry point at the tip of greater …

BACKGROUND: Proximal femoral nail is commonly recommended as treatment of choice for
unstable and reverse oblique intertrochanteric fracture in view of superior biomechanics and …
