A study was undertaken to clarify the usefulness of the Rush pin intramedullary semirigid nailing technique in the treatment of 88 antebrachium fractures in 48 consecutive adult patients during the years 1966 through 1977. Of the patients 45 were followed for an average of 7.6 years (range, 2-14 years). The clinical results (antebrachium and wrist movements) were good in 78% of the cases with few complications. Union was delayed in five cases. There were no cases of wound infection, nonunion, or bone atrophy. The method was suitable for almost all types of fracture, even in elderly patients. Severe comminuted fractures with a shortening tendency on the radius require a special technique to prevent ulnar variance. The low degree of operative trauma may contribute to the excellent results obtained with the Rush technique.
一项研究旨在阐明1966年至1977年间，Rush针髓内半刚性钉技术在治疗48例连续成年患者的88例前臂骨折中的效用。其中45例患者平均随访7.6年（范围2 - 14年）。78%的病例临床结果（前臂和腕部活动）良好，并发症较少。5例出现愈合延迟。无伤口感染、骨不连或骨质萎缩病例。该方法适用于几乎所有类型的骨折，即使是老年患者。桡骨有缩短倾向的严重粉碎性骨折需要特殊技术以防止尺骨差异。手术创伤程度低可能是Rush技术取得优异结果的原因之一。
