Abstract

Bending of a Kuntscher nail which had been used in the treatment of a prior femoral diaphyseal fracture was encountered in a 37-year-old male patient who was admitted to hospital for a deformity in his left thigh caused in a car accident. The nail was extracted and osteosynthesis was performed via an intramedullary locked nail. Union was obtained in the fourth postoperative month without any complications.

Özet

Geçirdiği araç içi trafik kazası sonucu sol uyluğunda deformite oluşması nedeniyle kliniğimize getirilen 37 yaşındaki erkek hastada, femur diafiz kırığı ve daha önce geçirdiği bir ameliyatta kullanılan Küntscher çivisinde bükülme saptandı. Kırık bölgesindeki Küntscher çivisi çıkarıldı ve kilitli intramedüller çivi ile osteosentez ameliyatı yapıldı. Ameliyat sonrası dördüncü ayda kaynama elde edildi ve komplikasyon gelişmedi.
