Analysis of the Impact of Configuration of the Stabilisation System for Femoral Diaphyseal Fractures on the State of Stresses and Displacements.

Introduction: The treatment of femoral diaphyseal fractures by intramedullary nailing has become a common procedure in orthopaedic surgery. The purpose of this numerical simulation was to present how the changes in configuration of the stabilisation system can affect the stress and displacement state in the bone tissue and implanted device.

Material And Methods: The numerical comparison of the stabilisation variants for the type 32-A2 femoral diaphyseal fracture (according to the AO classification) performed by using the Charfix2 (ChM®) anatomical nail locked in a number of chosen ways.

Complication of a Femoral Fracture Treated by Intramedullary Nailing - Numerical Analysis of a Clinical Case.

The aim of this paper is to conduct a numerical analysis of a case of femoral fracture treated by intramedullary nailing and confirm the conditions which led to the formation of a pseudarthrosis at the fracture site. A low-energy femoral fracture was treated by placing a ChFN System intramedullary nail with a derotation pin. Using the finite element method, a bone-implant system was generated which made it possible to observe the displacement area and strains in the region of the fracture gap.

Intramedullary osteosynthesis with gamma nail in treatment of peritrochanteric fractures of the femur.

Introduction: The treatment of peritrochanteric fractures of the femur, particularly in elderly people is a therapeutic challenge for the surgeon, not only due to the patient's age but also the type of fracture. The aim of the present paper is to assess the efficacy of closed intramedullary osteosynthesis with a gamma nail in the treatment of peritrochanteric fractures depending on the type of fracture and patient age.

Material And Methods: The study involved 109 patients treated at the Orthopaedic and Trauma Department of A.
