A new intramedullary rod has been developed for the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. The stepped fluted rod is designed as a single unit and has exceptional bending strength and rigidity as well as excellent torsional load-carrying capacity. It has been used successfully in eighteen patients with a variety of subtrochanteric fractures. Union was achieved in all instances and no failure of the implant occurred. The simplified technique of insertion, the strength of the device, and the results of this study indicate that the fluted subtrochanteric rod has several advantages over other available devices.
一种用于治疗转子下骨折的新型髓内钉已研发出来。这种阶梯式带槽髓内钉设计为单个部件,具有出色的抗弯强度和刚度,以及卓越的抗扭承载能力。它已成功应用于18例患有各种转子下骨折的患者。所有病例均实现了骨愈合,且未发生植入物失败的情况。这种简化的插入技术、器械的强度以及本研究的结果表明,带槽转子下髓内钉相对于其他现有器械具有若干优势。
