ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The use of intramedullary nailing to treat proximal femoral fractures has increased in recent years. Nail breakage is a rare complication of intramedullary nailing of the femur, and generally occurs at the non-united fracture site. Removal of the distal fragment of a broken nail is a challenging problem. In this article, the authors describe the methods used to remove strongly fixed broken intramedullary nails. Level of Evidence IV; Case series.
RESUMO
RESUMO O uso de hastes intramedulares para tratar fraturas proximais do fêmur aumentou nos últimos anos. A quebra da haste é uma complicação rara das hastes intramedulares do fêmur, que em geral ocorre no local de não união da fratura. A remoção do fragmento distal da haste quebrada é um problema desafiador. Neste artigo, os autores descrevem os métodos usados para remover hastes intramedulares quebradas e com forte fixação. Nível de Evidência IV; Série de casos.
