Role of Dynamization in Fracture Healing of Femoral Shaft Fracture Fixed with Interlocking Intramedullary Nail
Keywords:
SIF (self-dynamisable internal fixator), ILN (interlocking intramedullary nail), femoral shaft fractures, RTA (road traffic accidents).Abstract
Objective: To know about the role of dynamization in fracture healing of femoral shaft fracture
fixed with interlocking intramedullary nail.
Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted between January 2015 to July 2016
orthopedics department of PIMS hospital. Inclusion and exclusion criterion were determined.
Patients were stratified randomly into non dynamized (Group A) and dynamized (Group B) groups.
At six weeks dynamization was performed.
Results: 60 patients (30 in each group) were included in the study. The mean age was 34.16±10.03
years. In group A, 21(70%) patients were male and 9(30%) were female. In group B, 23 (76.7%)
patients were male and 7 (23.3%) were female. Fracture union rate was compared between the
two groups.
Conclusion: Although Dynamization reduces the time of union of fracture, it has no effect on rate
of fracture healing,
