[45 years of intramedullary nailing in femoral fractures].
A report is given in this paper based on experiences of 814 cases of intramedullary nailing in femoral shaft fractures performed at the author's hospital between 1941 and 1985 (691 by closed and 123 by open technique). Follow-up checks were made on 470 patients. Results were found to be excellent in 81.5 per cent of these cases, good in 16.1 per cent, and poor in 2.4 per cent. Infections were recorded from 2.3 per cent. The patients were further subdivided by additional relevant parameters, such as indications, concomitant injuries, and postoperative deaths.
