Introduction: A residual fracture gap after intramedullary nailing is a known risk factor for delayed union and non-union. This study aimed to report the outcomes of a forward-striking technique to reduce fracture gaps during long cephalomedullary nailing in subtrochanteric femoral fractures (SFFs).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with SFFs treated in a single institution between February 2013 and October 2018.
Purpose: Increased blood loss remains a major drawback of simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (SBTHA). We examined the effects of disusing closed suction drainage (CSD) on postoperative blood loss and transfusion requirement in cementless SBTHA.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with a consecutive series of cementless SBTHAs performed by a single surgeon between January 2014 and March 2017.
