Endoscopic controlled intramedullary fracture reduction. A case report about closed fracture reduction under visual control.

Intramedullary bone endoscopy (IBE) was introduced as a new endoscopic technique in the year 2002 to achieve and manipulate the medullary canal of long bone under direct visual control. We report on a patient with a proximal femur fracture, where the new technique of IBE was used for intramedullary fracture reduction under visual control for the first time. Thus, the intraoperative use of an image intensifier was reduced.

[Considerations in operative treatment of closed fractures].

The principles that ought to be followed in closed fracture operative treatment have been presented. All relevant factors of surgical management were considered, beginning from qualification of the patient with motor system trauma for operative treatment, right choice of stabilization technique, as well as appropriate soft tissue and early posttraumatic care. It was emphasized that, even a "technically perfect" stabilization of fractured bone pieces using the right technique gave no guarantee of success if soft tissue care was inappropriate, inadequate was limb blood supply and if treatment of infection complicated cases in the early stage was solely limited to systematic antibiotic administration.
