Transfixion rod in condylar and intercondylar fractures of femur.

The transfixion rod has been used in the treatment of supracondylar fractures of the femur to organize comminuted condylar fragments about a stable, intramedullary insertion of the rod. Using a cantilever principle, the fixation of the comminuted fragments with bolts produce a stable organization permitting immediate mobilization of the knee joint. The four-flanged design of the rod prevents torsion and the multiplicity of holes in the rod permits rapid revascularization and bony healing.

Transfixion intramedullary nail.

The Modny transfixion intramedullary nail has been used in 261 cases of complex femoral fractures with excellent results. Proximal, medial, and distal comminutions of all sizes were accurately transfixed by this open method. Transfixion screws and biologic ingrowth fixed the fragments rapidly, resulting in no measurable shortening or rotational deformity, and rapidity of healing was enhanced. The nail was also used in five knee fusions.

A special guide for insertion of multiple pins for fracture of the hip: experience with 200 cases.

Two hundred cases of intracapsular femoral neck fractures have been treated with a multiple parallel pin technique similar to that originated by Austin Moore. The technique employs a personally designed guide which facilitates insertion of multiple parallel pins. The fixation obtained satisfactorily resists shear stress and rotational stress and allows for continuous compression at the fracture site. The technique is most effective in treating intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck.
