ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the results of interlocking humeral nail for femur shaft fractures through the greater trochanter in older children and adolescent. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Eleven femoral shaft fractures in ten patients were selected. They were consisted of 9 boys and 1 girl. Two patients had osteogenesis imperfecta and one patient had a simple bone cyst as an underlying disease. 7 cases were right side and 4 cases were left side. The mean age at the time of operation was 12 years and 7 months (8 years 11 months~15 years 7 months). The mean follow-up period was 21 months and interlocking humeral nail was inserted at the greater trochanter in all patients.RESULTS:
All patients had a complete bony union without any complication such as infection, nonunion, leg length discrepancy and metal failure. Avascular necrosis of femoral head and coxa valga were not developed in all patients.CONCLUSION:
Intramedullary nailing through the greater trochanter using interlocking humeral nail is effective and safe treatment for the femoral shaft fracture in older children and adolescents.
