  • Title: [Experiences with interlocking nails in the femur. A retrospective analysis of 99 operated femur shaft fractures].
    Author: Strømsøe K, Thoresen BO, Ekeland A, Follerås G, Alho A.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1990 Jun; 61(6):430-3. PubMed ID: 2364783.
    Abstract:
    In 95 patients 99 femoral fractures treated with an intramedullary locking nail were followed-up for median 22 months (12-60). 62 results were classified as excellent, 19 as good and 16 results as fair. A poor result was registered in 2 patients. We had 13 operation-related complications. Four of these complications required a new operation and one ended up with a poor end-result. Operative-technical complications do not necessarily need to impair the result if the surgeon is aware of them and knows how they are to be handled.
