Abstract
One hundred ninety-three of 196 acute nonpathologic femoral shaft fractures were treated consecutively with intramedullary nailing using the fluted rod. Closed intramedullary nailing was used in 126 fractures, and an open technique was used in 67. This series includes 58 open fractures and 104 comminuted fractures. All fractures treated with the fluted rod united. Complications included three superficial infections (1.5%). Malrotation greater than 20° was noted in six patients (3.1%). Significant shortening (5 cm), which required treatment, occurred in one patient. After initial resuscitation and evaluation, routine treatment included preoperative traction and a first-generation cephalosporin followed by accurate reduction and nailing of the fracture. The results of this series suggest that the fluted rod may be ideal for the treatment of most femoral shaft fractures.
