Osteoporotic fractures in the elderly are increasingly numerous, but diaphyseal locations on
native bone are quite rare. Pathological and periprosthetic fractures are not included in this …

Purpose To compare the intraoperative procedural efficiency of antegrade and retrograde
locked intramedullary nailing of diaphyseal femur fractures without intraoperative …

Previous studies have reported that large fracture fragment with displacement might cause
nonunion of femoral shaft fractures. We therefore intended to delineate significant risk …

Antegrade intramedullary (IM) nailing is the gold standard treatment for femoral shaft
fractures; however, the non-union rate of infra-isthmal femoral shaft fractures is still high after …

Aim The incidence and characteristics of iatrogenic comminution (IC) are unknown, and the
influence of IC on fracture union is unclear. This study was aimed to investigate the (1) …

Résumé Même si les fractures ostéoporotiques du sujet âgé sont en augmentation, leur
localisation diaphysaire sur os natif est assez rare. Les fractures pathologiques et péri …

We read the recently published study [1] with keen interest. The study gives insight
regarding the efficient management of the distal third (infra-isthmus) shaft femur fractures …

Objective: A retrospective examination was made of tibia shaft fractures treated with tibia
intramedullary nail (IMN), which are designed with distal retractable claws, unlike classic …

1. Preoperative radiographs of anteroposterior (AP) view were the standard image used to
measure the isthmus for determining FI ratio in our study. The isthmus femoral canal …
