Introduction: The management of fractures of the femoral diaphysis has changed considerably in the last 30 years. Since the advent and popularization of intramedullary nailing the treatment of fracture shaft of femur has become a good, safe and reproducible procedure for the successful management of fracture shaft of femur.Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the various postoperative outcomes of the interlocking nail of fracture shaft of femur.Methodology: This study was prospective cohort study conducted at B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan from March 2002 to Feb 2004. Seventy five consecutive patients, having fractures shaft of femur were treated by anterograde closed interlocking nail. Data analysis was done by using EpiInfo 2000 software.Results: The most common cause of fractures shaft of femur was road traffic accident (69.3%). The average union time was 14.9 ± 1.3 weeks. There was wound infection in four cases superficial infection in open grade II but no deep infection. There was two cases of pudendal nerve palsy which recovered within 4 months. There were 5 cases of broken interlocking distal screw and 4 cases had more than 1.5 cm shortening of femurConclusions: The antegrade reamed femoral nailing provides excellent results in management of fractures shaft of femur.Birat Journal of Health SciencesVol.2/No.3/Issue 4/Sep- Dec 2017, Page: 244-247

“…5 Similarly, for fractures treated with locked intramedullary nails where secondary bone healing is expected, in the majority of patients, callus is not visible on radiographs until after 6 weeks. 7 Biomechanically, intramedullary nails have high fatigue strength compatible with supporting full weight bearing for well over 6 weeks, even in patients with comminuted fractures. 8,9 In clinical cohorts nails do not fail, even with unrestricted activity, 8,9,11 over the initial 6 weeks without a significant traumatic event.…”

“…Femoral anteversion is not routinely measured, even though 8% to 19% of the cases could develop a malrotation deformity of 15°or more compared with the uninjured side. 1,27 • Locking the distal holes is arguably the most demanding phase of the surgery. First, it requires a very accurate positioning of the C-arm, perpendicular to the distal nail longitudinal axis, until a perfect circle is seen.…”

Summary: Closed reduction and intramedullary nailing under x-ray fluoroscopy is the current treatment of choice for femoral shaft fractures. However, many images are required to successfully perform the procedure, especially for distal locking of the nail, resulting in cumulative radiation exposure to the surgeon. Recently, computer-based technologies have been developed for surgical navigation, enabling the surgeon to accurately track in real-time the instruments, implants, and patient anatomy during a procedure. This article reviews the principles and potential benefits of computer-aided image-guided surgery for femoral shaft fracture, its indications, and its pitfalls. The existing systems, commercially available and prototypes, and the early clinical experience using this technique are also briefly discussed.
