Re: Еще один перелом "около фиксатора"

This looks like a good solution, technically well done and likely to succeed. I hope you will give us some follow-up in 3 months.
My question (purely to keep the discussion alive :-) is why do you use an unreamed technique? There are now several studies comparing reamed and unreamed femoral nails with increased non-union and mal-union rates in the unreamed group. A recent study from Duke showed that the amount of fat embolism during unreamed nailing was the same as during reamed nailing, measured by Trans Esophageal Echo-cardiogram. So what is the advantage of unreamed nails? In this particular case?
The following search in PubMed uses the search string (("Femoral Fractures/surgery"[MAJR:noexp] AND "Bone Nails"[MeSH]) AND unreamed[All Fields]) and yields 45 papers mostly on the subject. There are at least three different prospective randomized trials comparing reamed vs unreamed all with the same findings.
I feel even more strongly on the subject of unreamed tibials nails and deplore the current SPRINT trial. The money would be better spent comparing reamed IM fixation of the tibia to percutaneous plate fixation or ex fix. Is everyone aware that there have never been a randomized prospective trial in closed tibial fractures to show that IM nails are superior to old fashioned AO plates?! Yet we have swung almost completely in that direction. Of course, you could also say that there has never been a randomized controlled trial to show that total hip replacement is better than a Girldlestone; but I submit that the case for nailing tibias is much less secure.
