Outcomes of Distal Femur Fractures Treated with Retrograde Indigenous Intramedullary Supracondylar (IMSC) Nailing

International Journal of Orthopaedics Research | 2022

Introduction Fractures of the distal femur are complex injuries that pose a challenge to orthopaedic surgeon. Significant advances have been made in treatment of these fractures. Out of various options for surgical treatment, retrograde intramedullary nailing has several benefits compared to other methods of fixation. Amongst the routinely available IMSC nails which have a spec...

Nail diameter significantly impacts stability in combined plate-nail constructs used for fixation of supracondylar distal femur fractures

OTA International: The Open Access Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma | 2022 | David J. Wright, Donald J. DeSanto, Michelle H. McGarry, Thay Q. Lee

Abstract Objectives: Plate-nail (PN) combinations have been described for fixation of supracondylar distal femur fractures. Small diameter retrograde intramedullary nails (rIMN) are commonly used. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of nail diameter on construct stability. We hypothesized that a larger diameter rIMN would not significantly change the stiffne...

Ballistic Supracondylar Distal Femur Fractures Have Lower Rates of Intra-articular Extension Than Blunt Distal Femur Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma | 2021 | Daniel A. Portney, Manoj Reddy, Hayden P. Baker, Daryl B. Dillman

Objectives: To compare the relative frequencies of intra-articular extension of supracondylar distal femur fractures in blunt versus ballistic trauma and the diagnostic accuracy of conventional radiography in identifying intra-articular extension in these fractures. Design: A retrospective review. Setting: Urban academic trauma center. Study group: Thirty-eight patients were in...

Proximal And Distal Femur Replacement For Patient With Non Union Fracture Of Intertrochanteric And Supracondylar Of Femur In A District Hospital

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2020 | SL Chin, H Umar, A Zaharul

Introduction: Non-union of intertrochanteric and supracondylar fractures of femur are uncommon which results in pain and functional disability, presenting major surgical challenge. We wish to report on two cases regarding endoprosthesis as management for non-union. Case Presentation: Patient A is 54 years old lady sustained closed comminuted intertochanteric fracture of right f...

ORIF With Submuscular Plating of an Intercondylar/Supracondylar Distal Femur Fracture

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma | 2018 | Dax Varkey, Robert F. Ostrum

Summary: Fractures of the distal femur with intercondylar extension and comminution are challenging cases and demand a thorough preoperative evaluation and execution of proper surgical technique. Identification of the intra-articular fractures, including coronal fractures of the lateral condyle, is important in planning surgery and emphasizes the need for computerized tomograph...

Purpose. To evaluate outcome following supracondylar nailing for distal femur fractures. Methods. The clinical and radiological outcome for 13 patients treated between January 1995 and December 1998 at the University Malaya Medical Center was assessed. Patients were seen for follow-up for a mean duration of 20.2 months. Results. There were no cases of non-union or infection. Ov...
