Outcomes of distal humerus fractures: What are we measuring?

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the performance of the intramedullary tibia nailing system while treating the tibia fracture fixation.Methods: In this retrospective study, studied the results of intramedullary tibia nail in treatment of tibia fracture. A total of 25 consecutive patients were included in this study (11 male, 14 female and average age 42.9 years). Fracture type was classified as per the Muller AO classification of fracture.Results: The outcomes of clinical treatment were obtained in our study; no pain (92%), mild pain (8%) after 2 year follow up. The follow up of patients were taken on 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years according to visual analog scale (VAS) score. Paired t test was performed for statistical data analysis using minitab and values of p<0.05 were taken to indicate significant value with confidence interval of 95%. No implant related problem have been found like loosening, bending and corrosion.Conclusions: Our outcomes with interlocking cannulated and expert tibial interlocking nailing are empowering and exhibit the advantages of new nailing framework. It has been concluded that intramedullary tibia nailing system is best method for treatment of tibia fracture with good results and outcomes.

“…Considering pain scores and comparing the VAS outcome of different studies that also includes demographic data as well as biomechanics under controlled trials can be sufficient to recommend the treatment plans. 12 As for the current study the trial was conducted after every six months and the outcome was presented by calculating the VAS score. This has shown good acceptance outcomes.…”

Background: Femoral fractures are bone fracture involve femur, common injuries in adults. Intramedullary femoral nailing system is the recommended solution or treatment for fractures due to its high union rates.Methods: In this clinical inspection 30 patients were selected with bone fracture of femur, and treated by using intramedullary femoral nailing system (universal intramedullary cannulated femoral nail, expert femoral nail, gamma nail and retrograde femoral nail) manufactured by Auxein Medical Private Limited, Sonepat, Haryana, India. There are two types of patients used in this study, one is male (n=18) and another female (n=12). Patients physical fitness was also observed through American Society of Anesthesiologist.Results: Outcomes record from the patients using visual analog scale. Follow up of the patients were taken on 1st month, 6th month, and 12 months. Post-operative outcomes were good with none of the patients showing non-union of fracture site. There were no complications noticed related to intramedullary femoral nailing system in this study and hardware related complications were not encountered in this study also.Conclusions: Intramedullary nailing system provide excellent outcomes with high union and low complication rates in the management of bone fracture involve femoral in patients.

“…Considering pain scores and looking at the VAS result of various investigations that incorporates statistic information just as biomechanics under controlled preliminaries can be adequate to prescribe the treatment plans. 12 As for the present study the trial was conducted after every year and the outcome was presented by calculating the VAS score. This has shown good acceptance outcomes.…”

Background: The clinical results of intramedullary humerus nailing system of humeral fracture is controversial variation in implants, and follow up factor and operative technical studies. Humerus fracture is the third long fracture after femoral and tibia bone fracture.Methods: In this prospective study, 45 patients (24 female and 21 male) between the age group of 18-75 years with humerus fracture were taken who did not get conservative management. Type of fracture was categorized according to AO classification. Intramedullary humeral nailing system (compression intramedullary humerus nail, reconstruction nail and reconstruction intramedullary humerus nail) manufactured at Auxein Medical Pvt. Ltd., was used to treatment of humerus fracture. Patient physical fitness was observed according to American Society of Anesthesiologist. Pain scale and outcomes was record from the patients using visual analog scale. Follow up of the patients were taken on 3-week, 8-week, 16-week, 1-year and 2-year.Results: At 2 years follow up, bone consolidation was present in 44 cases. Only one case has reported of mortality but that was not due to implant related. No clinical and biomechanical complications were reported. Proper healing of implant was achieved.Conclusions: Intramedullary humeral nailing system is the best treatment option to treat the humerus fracture. Compression intramedullary humerus nail can minimize the gap and increase the biomechanical stiffness.
