Intramedullary nailing of abnormally bowed atypical femoral shaft fractures: surgical technique
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery"
DOI: 10.1007/s00402-019-03279-4
Abstract: The treatment of atypical femoral shaft fractures with abnormal bowing provides a unique challenge for surgeons. Whilst intramedullary fixation of atypical femoral shaft fractures affords both mechanical and biological benefits, the mismatch between standard intramedullary… read more here.
