Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical application of reconstruct ion interlocking nail in treating ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaf t. Methods Twelve cases of ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft trea ted with reconstruction interlocking nail by static locking were reviewed. The d iaplasis of the fracture was done in a close manner or in an open manner but wit h a little incision, and the two sides of the fracture were locked with nails by a three-dimensional aim implement. Two lag screws were inserted into the femor al neck at a 15 degree dip angle. Results Eleven cases were followed up (average 12.3 months). Their long term effects were evaluated according to MaYuanzhang e valuation criteria: 5 cases gained excellent clinical results, 4 good, 2 fair; t he excellent and good rates were 81.8% (9/11). The average period of femoral n eck fracture healing was 5.2 months and that of shaft fracture healing 6.7 month s .72.7 % of the patients(8/11) showed fracture healing at one stage. There were no necrosis of femoral head, no femoral neck nonunion or malunion, or no n ail rupture. Conclusions Reconstruction interlocking nail is a principal way in treating ipsilateral fractures of femoral neck and shaft because of its effecti ve fixation and excellent clinical effect. Anatomy reduction of femoral neck and non-open reduction should be emphasized in treatment of femoral neck fractures , while close nail insertion, limited reaming and static locking should be a rou tine way in treatment of femoral shaft fractures.
