Flexible nailing, using Ender's nails, was done in 10 patients of femoral fractures with either transverse or short oblique fracture or spiral with some comminution. Only condylocephalic approach was used. Average per-operative blood loss was about 50 ml and average operative time was only 45 minutes. There was no case of nail breakage, infection, delayed malunion or non-union. Range of knee movement achieved in most of the cases was more than 120 degree. The method is simple, quick and atraumatic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
