“…The decision-making for operative removal of femoral nails is based on general aspects, such as the nail design [8], composition and surface modifications (stainless steel versus titanium alloy, polished versus unpolished surfaces) [9], as well as on patient-and surgeon-specific aspects, such as the age and co-morbidity of the patient [10], a history of open fractures or infection [10], a request by the patient [11], intrusion of the femoral nail [1], the experience of the surgeon [1,12] and the equipment available at the hospital.…”

“…Während bei älteren Patienten weitgehend Konsens herrscht, dass diese Implantate belassen werden sollten, wenn keine zwingenden Gründe zur Entfernung (Infekt, Prothesenimplantation, implantatnahe Fraktur, Materialversagen, Dislokation) vorliegen, ist die Datenlage bei jüngeren Patienten uneinheitlich [1][2][3][4][5]. Im Vergleich zu anderen Implantaten wird die Entfernung intramedullärer Kraftträger überwiegend kritisch gesehen [1,2,6,7], vor allem aufgrund der vergleichsweise hohen OP-Morbidität [7], die ein Grund für den nur mäßigen Erfolg dieser Operation bezüglich der Schmerzreduktion der Patienten [3,8] zu sein scheint. Die wesentlichen Schwierigkeiten finden sich bei der Darstellung des Nagelkopfs und dem Einbringen des Extraktionsbolzens, vor allem bei Vorliegen von Verknöcherungen.…”
