Introduction For optimal treatment of femoral fractures, it is essential to understand the
anatomical antecurvation of the human femur. Recent clinical studies have highlighted the …

Purpose. The human femur has long been considered to have an anatomical anterior
curvature in the sagittal plane. We established a new method to evaluate the femoral …

Intramedullary nailing is frequently utilized in the treatment of femoral shaft fractures.
However, an incorrect entry point will result in poor reduction of the shattered bones …

While antegrade nailing for proximal and diaphyseal femur fractures is a commonly utilized
fixation method with benefits including early mobilization and high rates of fracture union …

Intramedullary (IM) nail implantation is currently the standard treatment for femoral
intertrochanteric fractures. However, individual differences in femur cavity bring a challenge …

Objective Femoral intertrochanteric fractures are usually fixed with short, straight
cephalomedullary nails. However, mismatches between the nail and the femur frequently …

Purpose To establish a new reliable approach for measuring proximal femoral anatomical
parameters and determining the optimal entry point of the antegrade intramedullary (IM) …

Background Lengthening nails have been used to correct limb length discrepancy caused
by different etiologies, as well as for post-traumatic reasons. Two important lengthening nail …

This biomechanical study assessed the influence of changing antegrade cephalomedullary
nail insertion point from anterior to neutral to posterior locations relative to the tip of the …

Introduction Cephalomedullary nails (CMN) have proven to be effective for the fixation of
unstable pertrochanteric hip fractures, but limited data exists regarding the degree of …
