Abstract
Over 5 yr, 55 re-operations with internal fixation were performed on 51 patients. The re-operations constituted 9.2% of all operations employing internal fixation for subcapital femur fractures during that period. The indications of re-nailing were penetration of the nail through the femoral head or slipping of the nail, with or without fracture dislocation. Of the re-nailed fractures, 26% healed; 73% showed avascular necrosis and 61%, non-union.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
