Reconstruction Intramedullary Nail for Ipsilateral Femoral Shaft and Hip Fractures
Abstract：Objective To review our experience with reconstruction intramedullary nailing in the treatment of ipsilateral hip and femoral shaft fractures. Methods From Jan 2001 to Jan 2011,fifteen patients with ipsilateral hip and femoral shaft fractures were treated with reconstruction intramedullary nails and followed-up in our division. Patients were evaluated at 1,3, 6,12 months after surgery,and then every year postoperatively. Results All patients were followed-up for an average of 27. 8 months(range,14 ~ 48 months). Neck fractures healed in 14 patients,and shaft fractures healed in 13 patients. The average u-nion time was 5. 4 months for the hip fractures and 6. 2 months for the shaft fractures. There was one case of non-union of the femoral neck fracture and one case of nonunion and one case of delayed union and two cases of malunion of femoral shaft frac-tures. Conclusion Reconstruction intramedullary nail has been an excellent choice for most cases of ipsilateral hip and femo-ral shaft fractures,but should not be preferred in subcapital fractures or irreducible femoral neck fractures and distal femoral shaft fractures.
