Treatment of femoral Shaft Fractures with Static Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing: Choong Hee Won, Seung Baik Kang, Kun Shin, Kyung Chul Jeon, Jin Sun Yoe, Kwan Hwan Jang; J Korean Soc Fract 1995;8(3):533-537. Published online July 31, 1995; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.1995.8.3.533

We managed thirty-five patients who had a fracture of the femoral shaft with interlocking fixation and twenty-five of thirty-five patients healed without conversion to dynamic intramedullary fixation and followed more than a year. The results of treatment of fractures of the femoral shaft with static interlocking nailing were reviewed. The average duration of follow-up was sixteen months(range, twelve to twenty-four months). Radiographic consolidation was seen in all fractures at a median of sixteen weeks(range, eight to twenty weeks). There were no non-unions. We concluded that routine conversion of static interlocking to dynamic interlocking is not necessary in the intramedullary nailing of the femur shaft fractures.
