The reported incidence of implant failure following reamed intramedullary tibial fixation is low. When necessary, retrieval of failed tibial nail segments is best performed in a closed fashion in order to avoid the delayed healing and increased risk of infection that may result from exposure of the tibial fracture site. A method to facilitate closed removal of the distal segment of a failed tibial nail is described.
报道的扩髓胫骨髓内固定术后植入物失败的发生率较低。必要时,对于失败的胫骨髓内钉节段,最好采用闭合方式取出,以避免因胫骨骨折部位暴露而导致的愈合延迟和感染风险增加。本文描述了一种便于闭合取出失败胫骨髓内钉远端节段的方法。
