Femur Fracture Nailing: Innovative Treatment for Severe Thigh Bone Fractures

Femur fracture nailing is an advanced orthopedic surgical technique used to stabilize severe fractures of the femur, or thigh bone. Its main functions include realigning the broken bones and maintaining their position while the fracture heals. Technological features of femur fracture nailing involve the use of a hollow metal rod, known as a nail, which is inserted into the medullary cavity of the femur through a small incision. This procedure is facilitated by fluoroscopy or an image intensifier to ensure precise placement. The applications of femur fracture nailing are widespread, from high-energy trauma cases such as those sustained in vehicle accidents to pathological fractures resulting from bone diseases. It is a critical procedure that restores mobility and significantly reduces the risk of complications associated with femur fractures.
