The authors present a simple distraction apparatus that makes it possible to perform nonreamed intramedullary nailing of the femur on a normal operating table. Nonreamed intramedullary (IM) nails were inserted in 24 femoral shaft fractures using this device. The setup time of this device was 60% shorter compared with a stratified group of 28 femoral nailings performed using the fracture table. The authors feel that this device is a safe and effective alternative to using a fracture table. It is especially useful in the polytrauma patient where the additional lesions can be treated without the need for patient transfer to another table.
作者介绍了一种简单的牵引装置，该装置能够在普通手术台上对股骨进行非扩髓髓内钉固定。使用该装置对24例股骨干骨折患者进行了非扩髓髓内钉置入。与使用骨折手术台进行的28例股骨钉固定的分层组相比，该装置的安装时间缩短了60%。作者认为该装置是使用骨折手术台的一种安全有效的替代方案。它对多发伤患者尤其有用，因为在无需将患者转移至另一手术台的情况下就可以治疗其他损伤。
