Can fluoroscopy-based computer navigation improve entry point selection for intramedullary nailing of femur fractures?
The entry point is crucial to an accurate reduction in femoral nailing. Fluoroscopy-based navigation was developed to aid in reducing femur fractures and selecting entry points. ⋯ Nonorthogonal images reduce accuracy of PF and TT identification with both navigation and fluoroscopy. Navigation increased precision but decreased accuracy and cannot overcome inaccuracies induced by nonorthogonal images.

Elastic nailing for pediatric subtrochanteric and supracondylar femur fractures.
Subtrochanteric and supracondylar femur fractures are difficult injuries to treat in children. Although elastic stable intramedullary nails are commonly used for pediatric femur shaft fractures, there is little information on their effectiveness for managing pediatric subtrochanteric and supracondylar femur fractures. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic study. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
