  • Title: Percutaneous reduction for closed nailing of femoral shaft fractures.
    Author: Farrar MJ, Binns MS.
    Journal: J R Coll Surg Edinb; 1996 Aug; 41(4):267-8. PubMed ID: 8772081.
    Abstract:
    Fracture reduction devices for closed nailing of the femur have been described as an alternative to manual manipulation. They have consisted of various clamps and supports. These external methods can be difficult to use. We have used a Steinman pin on a T-clamp inserted percutaneously on to bone to gain a temporary reduction during intramedullary nailing.
