  • Title: Pathological fractures in the proximal part of the femur treated by Zickel-nail fixation.
    Author: Mickelson MR, Bonfiglio M.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Am; 1976 Dec; 58(8):1067-70. PubMed ID: 1002746.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-one patients were treated with Zickel nail for neoplastic pathological fracture or impending pathological fracture: in the femoral neck in three, in the intertrochanteric region in three, and in the subtrochanteric region in fifteen. Nineteen patients were restored to bed-chain status by the third postoperative day, and twenty were able to walk. Failure of fixation did not occur and there were no infections.
