Extension Pieces The extension pieces are used to extend the replacement length and are available in 30mm through 80mm lengths in 10mm increments and 100mm through 220mm lengths in 20mm increments. Mark these on the skin with the help of the image intensifier if necessary. Begin by identifying the tip of the greater trochanter and the axis of the femur. In 2004 the proximal femoral nail antirotation PFNA. The proximal femoral components have a 135 neck angle and fixation holes to reattach the abductor mechanism. 4 degrees End Caps in lengths of 0mm 5mm and 10mm Distal oblong hole for 5mm screws. 12 DePuy Synthes TFNA Proximal Femoral Nailing System Surgical Technique OPEN PROXIMAL FEMUR 1 Identify nail entry point Make a longitudinal incision proximal to the greater trochanter. As shown this lies on the proximal extension of the bowed axis of the femoral shaft. Synthes Oberdorf Switzerland was developed by AOASIF Davos Switzerland as an alternative to the proximal femoral nail. Adapted diameters of proximal nail end and nail shaft avoid additional proximal reaming.

There is a 125130 inclination angle between the head and neck and the femoral body. Up to 5mm dynamization is possible Distal Locking Options Locking in the distal part of the oblong hole creates a dynamic. The proximal femoral components have a 135 neck angle and fixation holes to reattach the abductor mechanism. Internal fixation with the proximal femoral nail PFN for the treatment of trochanteric fractures allows primary full weight-bearing after osteosynthesisThis alone means that the PFN is advantageous in patients suffering this type of injury most of whom are elderly and need to be encouraged to walk very soon after surgery. The average age of the patients was 792 years. The anatomical curvature radius. 4 degrees End Caps in lengths of 0mm 5mm and 10mm Distal oblong hole for 5mm screws. Begin by identifying the tip of the greater trochanter and the axis of the femur. Further there is a 15 anteversion angle between the plane passing through the condyles of the femoral head and the femur. The double oblique proximal interlocking holes allow use for both right and left femur.

Proximal femur includes the femoral head neck and the region 5-cm distal to the lesser trochanter. Die Versorgung auch komplizierter Frakturen kann in 30 Minuten erfolgen und erzeugt ein minimales WeichteiltraumaDieses chirurgische Prozedere ist bei der z. Make a 3-5 cm skin incision several centimeters proximal to the tip of the greater trochanter. As shown this lies on the proximal extension of the bowed axis of the femoral shaft. The double oblique proximal interlocking holes allow use for both right and left femur. Entry point of the nail. The anatomical curvature radius. 120 125 130 M-L bend for valgus curvature. Complicated multiple trauma injuries associated pelvic and acetabular fractures ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures supracondylar and inter-condylar fractures may be better managed by utilizing retrograde femoral nailing techniques. The mean healing time was 682 days in 994 of the cases.

Separate the underlying muscle fi bers and palpate the. The mean healing time was 682 days in 994 of the cases. The average age of the patients was 792 years. Extension Pieces The extension pieces are used to extend the replacement length and are available in 30mm through 80mm lengths in 10mm increments and 100mm through 220mm lengths in 20mm increments. Up to 5mm dynamization is possible Distal Locking Options Locking in the distal part of the oblong hole creates a dynamic. Femur fractures may be caused by high energy injuries such as a fall from height or a motor vehicle accident. In 2004 the proximal femoral nail antirotation PFNA. As shown this lies on the proximal extension of the bowed axis of the femoral shaft. Carry the dissection down to the gluteus me-dius fascia longitudinally in the direction of the wound. A series of 224 fractures of the proximal femur in which this nail was used is reported.

Internal fixation with the proximal femoral nail PFN for the treatment of trochanteric fractures allows primary full weight-bearing after osteosynthesisThis alone means that the PFN is advantageous in patients suffering this type of injury most of whom are elderly and need to be encouraged to walk very soon after surgery. Carry the dissection down to the gluteus me-dius fascia longitudinally in the direction of the wound. Begin by identifying the tip of the greater trochanter and the axis of the femur. Retrograde femoral nailing has expanded the use of intramedullary nails 1 2. 4 degrees End Caps in lengths of 0mm 5mm and 10mm Distal oblong hole for 5mm screws. Adapted diameters of proximal nail end and nail shaft avoid additional proximal reaming. 2000 mm facilitates nail insertion and reduces the risk of cortex perforation or nail torsion. As shown this lies on the proximal extension of the bowed axis of the femoral shaft. PFNA-Nagel Optimaler Sitz Das anatomisch vorgeformte Design gewährleistet eine optimale Pass - genauigkeit im Femur Das Design der Femurnägel PFN und PFNA hat sich in über 450000 Implantationen klinisch bewährt. Synthes Oberdorf Switzerland was developed by AOASIF Davos Switzerland as an alternative to the proximal femoral nail.
