Comminuted fractures of the femoral shaft treated by intramedullary nailing.
TLDR
It is believed that it is reasonable to perform an open reduction and cerclage wiring of grade III and grade IV comminuted femoral fractures to gain anatomic restoration in a young person.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of tibial fractures
TL;DR: An epidemiological analysis of 523 fractures treated in the Edinburgh Orthopaedic Trauma Unit over a three-year period showed an association between the AO morphological system and the Tscherne and Gustilo classifications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Locking intramedullary nailing with and without reaming for open fractures of the tibial shaft. A prospective, randomized study.
TL;DR: The clinical and radiographic results of nails after reaming are similar to those of nailing without reaming for fixation of open fractures of the tibial shaft, although more screws broke when reaming had not been done.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of elastic stable intramedullary nail fixation of pediatric femoral fractures, and how to avoid them.
TL;DR: Surgeons should advance nail ends to lie against the supracondylar flare of the femur to avoid symptoms at the insertion site and should avoid implanting nails of two different diameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing with and without Reaming for the Treatment of Closed Fractures of the Tibial Shaft. A Prospective, Randomized Study*
TL;DR: It is concluded that there are no major advantages to nailing without reaming as compared with nailing with reaming for the treatment of closed fractures of the shaft of the tibia.

External fixation or flexible intramedullary nailing for femoral shaft fractures in children: a prospective, randomised study
Elhanan Bar-On,S. Sagiv,S. Porat +2 more
TL;DR: Flexible intramedullary nailing is recommended for fractures of the femoral shaft which require surgery, and reserve external fixation for open or severely comminuted fractures.

Closed intramedullary nailing of the femur.
TL;DR: Closed nailing with intramedullary reaming for fractures of the femur is a safe method for treating most femoral-shaft fractures and for obtaining early functional recovery and a method of making the procedure available to more orthopaedic surgeons is presented.

Closed reduction and early cast-brace ambulation in the treatment of femoral fractures. II. Results in one hundred and forty-three fractures.
TL;DR: Femoral fractures treated by closed reduction, early application of a cast-brace, and ambulation were found to be especially suited for the primary treatment of distal fractures, comminuted mid-shaft fractures, and open fractures, but was also useful for the management of infected, ununited fractures in conjunction with standard bone-grafting procedures.

Results after internal fixation of comminuted fractures of the femoral shaft with DC plates.
Rüedi Tp,Lüscher Jn +1 more
TL;DR: A series of 131 comminuted fractures of the femoral shaft in 123 patients were externally fixed by the ASIF plating method, and the application of a bone graft appears mandatory in all fractures that are fixed by a plate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The results of early and delayed internal fixation of fractures of the shaft of the femur.
TL;DR: The results in 211 fractures of the shaft of the femur in adults treated by internal fixation have been reviewed and delayed operation is advocated for the majority of femoral shaft fractures for which internal fixation is indicated.
