Alternative method for removing an impacted AO intramedullary nail [Case Report]

Yoslow W; LaMont JG
An intramedullary femoral nail became impacted after approximately one third of it had been removed by standard AO technique in a 28-year-old man. Vise-grip pliers were used to twist the nail into a cigar-wrapper shape. While the standard nail removal should always be tried first, this method, although arduous and time-consuming, should be considered when faced with the possibility of having to split the femur or saw through the impacted nail

Treatment of femoral neck fractures with a sliding compression screw and two Knowles pins

Ort PJ; LaMont J
Twenty-one patients with an average age of 65 years had displaced femoral neck fractures treated by a sliding compression screw and two Knowles pins. All patients had either Garden III or Garden IV fractures. One patient healed with a malunion and five developed symptomatic avascular necrosis; all of these patients required reconstructive surgery. There were no nonunions. The sliding compression screw with two Knowles pins gave a 100% rate of union, which was superior to most fixation methods. The incidence of avascular necrosis was 24%, the expected range for displaced femoral neck fractures
