Reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing of the femur: comparison of the rate of ARDS in multiple injured patients.
To compare the rate of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in multiply injured patients with femoral shaft fractures, treated with intramedullary femoral nails inserted with or without reaming. ⋯ The overall incidence of ARDS was found to be low with primary stabilization of femoral shaft fractures with intramedullary nailing. There was no difference in the incidence of ARDS between the reamed and unreamed groups, given the sample size.
