The authors describe the development in the design of the modified Küntscher's nail with two fins on its upper part, assigned for the fixation of proximal femur after corrective osteotomies in children. Detailed explanation about the nails construction and its biomechanical characteristics are presented. The fixation of the nail in the proximal and distal femoral part, as well as on the site of osteotomy is particularly analyzed. On the base 423 operated cases, where the modified Küntscher's nail was applied, the authors conclusion is that the nail is very suitable for the correction of proximal femur deformities in children.
作者描述了改良的 Küntscher 钉的设计进展，该钉上部有两个鳍片，用于儿童矫正截骨术后股骨近端的固定。文中详细介绍了该钉的结构及其生物力学特性。特别分析了该钉在股骨近端和远端以及截骨部位的固定情况。基于423例应用改良Küntscher钉的手术病例，作者得出结论，该钉非常适合矫正儿童股骨近端畸形。
