Hello Tom,

There were no signs of loosening prior the recent fracture.

AFAIK it is Corin (UK).

The patient is about 100 kg, so a thicker nail would be favourable...
I am not certain about whether a thicker nail can be inserted through the notch, and it seems to me cruciate ligaments are at risk.

Locking plates are still not available in our unit. And at recent EuroTrauma 2004 i've just heard a very good presentation of D.Seligson from the US about distal femoral fractures whrere he was a bit skeptical about lockig plates, demonstrated broken ones, and proposed that nails are still a way to go. And anyway it would be some kind of open reduction, muscle separation...
TAC> or particularly in Russia, XF.
Even here people are very restricted about XF for definitive fixation over endoprosthesis because of extremely high cost of pin/wire tract infection. So my primary plan is antegrade nailing with a solid nail.
If the attempt to pass through the area of union at the shaft level is failed, i switch to the retrograde approach. Which i will try to avoid by any means because the TKA was performed in another unit and in case of problems with the implant any later it is a reason to say - you see, ortho trauma guys broke our ideally implanted knee. I suppose you realize what i mean.
