SELF-LOCKING INTRAMEDULLARY NAIL MINIMALLY INVASIVELY TREATING FEMORAL SHAFT FRACTURE

Objective To observe the self-locking intramedullary nail’s advantage in femoral shaft fracture treatment. Methods 22 cases of femoral shaft fractures were treated with self-locking intramedullary nail, and 18 cases were treated with interlocking intramedullary nail. Measure the bleeding and time consuming in operation. Results In bleeding and time consuming, the group using self-locking intramedullary nail are better than using interlocking intramedullary nail. Conclusion The self-locking intramedullary nail is a good internal fixation method to treat femoral shaft fractures. It’s a minimally invasive intramedullary nail.
