[The Ender nailing : state of the art and new improvements. The sliding nailing (author's transl)].

The authors, as well as many other people, have encountered some misuses and complications of Ender nailing. Some surgical improvements are pointed out : reduction with a slight valgus, meticulous digging of the hole, sagital precurving of the nails, careful selection of loading criteria. A new device is also described from the Ender nail, that they modified : an Ender nail with a distal screwing slide which allows distal screwing and therefore prevents going down and rotation of the nails. A case study of three comparative series showed the substantial progress which was made possible by these technical improvements, and most of all by the distal sliding screwing.

[Nailing according to Ender. Biomechanical study and results of 120 cases].

The authors have conducted a clinical and biomechanical study of blind nailing of trochanteric fractures by the Ender's technique. The nail is introduced through the medial femoral condyle. The study was based on 120 operations. From the biomechanical standpoint, the authors studied the forces exerted in the medullary canal of the femoral shaft and the grip of the nail in the head and neck of the femur. In most of the cases the technique allowed immediate walking with weight-bearing. The results are compared with those obtained after nail-plate fixation. They were superior on three counts--less infection, less breakage of inserted material and less non-union, but the technique produced more mal-union. For this reason, the authors consider it to be an excellent technique but to be reserved for older patients.

[Valgus fixation of trochanteric fractures in elderly patients. Early weight-bearing walking. Apropos of 25 cases].

The authors have treated 25 unstable trochanteric fractures in old people by valgus osteotomy and nail-plate fixation. In 6 cases a medial translation was added. Walking with weight bearing was started 7 to 14 days after the operation. The results were satisfactory in only 14 cases. The authors think that this type of fixation is logical on a bio-mechanical standpoint. However they conclude that the procedure is not fiable enough.
