This book offers precise points in intramedullary nailing for the treatment of the femoral fracture. The author's aim is to explain how to find a correct entry point, especially in the case of subtrochanteric fracture with excessive external rotation of the proximal fragment, method of reduction in a severely comminuted fracture which is challenging in the restoration of rotational alignment as well as angulation, and mode of interlocking. This book is based on the author’s personal experiences of 30 years in trauma, who dedicates himself to developing intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fracture. It also covers cephalomedullary nailing for reverse obliquity trochanteric fracture because the incidence of hip fractures increases due to prolonged life expectancy. This book will be an ideal resource with many fluoroscopic and radiographic pictures to descript the real situations that the surgeons encounter in the operating room and techniques to solve those problems.

The third volume of the "Practice of Intramedullary Locked Nails" places a special focus on recent advancements in understanding the biology of fracture healing of long bones, the emerging technologies that further enhance the minimally invasive nature of closed treatment of fractures, and the availability of various surgical techniques in intramedullary fixation. The application of new technology in prevention of infection and application of the intramedullary fixation of fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients are also described. The contributors to this volume are from different well-known trauma centers and are pioneer surgeons in the development and practice of intramedullary locked nails.

This book, Proximal Femoral Fractures written by two of the most experienced trauma surgeons. The book encompasses practical tips for management of proximal femoral fractures in day-to-day practice. It clearly details the indications for hemireplacement in intertrochanteric fractures of elderly along with extensive description of novel approach and execution of the surgery. It covers the entire spectrum from anatomy, epidemiology, and surgical modalities of treatment of proximal femoral fractures with surgical procedures described in great detail covering the age group from pediatrics to geriatrics. In fact, detailed surgical procedures for all proximal femoral fractures remains the strong point of the book. It serves as a concise, well-researched and comprehensive practical guide encompassing the most modern trends in the management of proximal femoral fractures for orthopedic surgeons worldwide.

This is a retrospective study of 211 consecutive femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nailing using the solid, diamond-shaped Hansen-Street nail. The pre-bent nail was inserted into the broached femoral canal with the aid of image fluoroscopy and with closed reduction in 168 cases, with an average operating time of 1.7 h and blood loss of 75 cc. Open technique was performed in 43 cases. The average follow-up was 13.7 months; there were no nonunions. The time to bony union by bridging callus was 4.1 months. Length stability correlated with the degree of comminution and the fracture site location. Shortening greater than 2 cm was found in 1.4% of the cases. Malrotation greater than 10 deg occurred in 2.1% and infection in 1.8% of patients. The Hansen-Street nail provides a simple and versatile bone-implant complex and is somewhat unique in affording some rotational control by the press fit of the diamond-shaped nail in the prebroached medullary canal. This end-result study reveals gratifying clinical results without sacrificing the medullary contents and some endosteal cortex, which results from intramedullary reaming.

Over the past three decades, the flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) technique that originated in the University of Nancy in France has evolved to the point where it is becoming the gold standard for the treatment of many fractures in children. This comprehensive textbook on FIN is written by Pierre Lascombes and his colleagues from the University of Nancy and covers all its potential applications. The book is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on general considerations such as biomechanics, choice of implant, basic principles of surgical technique, and rehabilitation. The second part describes in detail the techniques developed for each particular fracture type with the aid of numerous high-quality illustrations. In the final part, a range of further indications for FIN in children are discussed. By clearly explaining the basic principles and various uses of FIN, this book will prove of value to both novice and experienced traumatologists and orthopedic surgeons.
