Comparative Study[Torsional abnormalities and length discrepancies after intramedullary nailing for femoral and tibial diaphyseal fracture. Computerized tomography evaluation of 189 fractures].
We retrospectively determined by computed tomography torsionnal abnormalities and length discrepancies after diaphyseal tibial and femoral fractures treated by intramedullary nailing. ⋯ Even though there is no clinical sign after torsionnal abnormalities in our patients, hip, knee or ankle arthrosis is possible after nailed shaft fracture. A long term follow-up is necessary. A prospective study will be necessary in order to assess the exact frequency of these malalignements.
