Abstract

A retrospective analysis of 42 patients treated by intramedullary nailing with the Gamma nail with a mean followup of 22.4 months is reported. The indications for the use of this nail were subtrochanteric fractures in 31 cases, diaphyseal femoral fractures in 10 cases, and segmental fracture in one case. Seven cases of the diaphyseal fractures were renailings for a previously placed nail. There was one pathologic fracture in the subtrochanteric group and three in the diaphyseal group. The indications of this new technique and its complications are analyzed.
