Article Synopsis
- Femur Shaft Fractures
- : These fractures typically occur from high-velocity trauma and are often treated with nailing. A rotational misalignment greater than 30° is considered a significant deformity and requires correction using various assessment techniques.
- Study Overview
- : The research involved a prospective observational study where 50 knees were analyzed using C-arm imaging to assess the rotational profile of the distal femur across three different views (AP, internal, and external rotation). Statistical analysis was conducted on the collected data.
- Key Findings
- : The analysis identified an "integration sign" for rotational deformity, with mean external rotation at 22° and mean internal rotation at 15.78°. This sign
