Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well the SIGN Fin nail maintains proper alignment after surgery for femoral shaft fractures, based on postoperative X-rays from a database.
- Out of 500 fractures reviewed, 9.4% showed malalignment, with influencing factors including patient age, time to surgery, fracture location, and type of reduction.
- The SIGN Fin nail was found to be effective in achieving alignment similar to traditional methods, but further studies are needed to assess rotational alignment and long-term outcomes.
