Abstract :
Aim and Objectives: To study the technical and operative advantages of Hip Fixation Nail by comparing with other cephallomedullary nails.Introduction: Hip Fixation Nail is one of the simplest cephalomedullary nail for managing trochanteric, peritrochanteric and associated shaft and segmental fractures of femur designed by the author . It has been compared with other cehalomedullary nails for its ease of use, by its design and its extended uses in unstable comminuted trochanteric and peritrochanteric fractures of femur. It scores over all other nails.Materials and Methods: The details of other cephalomedullary nails by its design , instrumentation , operative time, technic, and learning curve , the compression achieved by these nail screw or helical blade In unstable trochanteric fractures, and facility for cement augmentation in osteoporotic elderly bones and augmentation of fixation with trochanteric buttress plate for lateral wall comminution were the points taken into consideration.
