| Abstract: | AimTo compare systemic fat extravasation in unreamed and experimentally reamed nailing.MethodsAn osteotomy was created in the proximal third of the femoral shaft in 16 sheep, and intramedullary pressure increase and fat extravasation were monitored for the two nailing techniques.ResultsThe highest intramedullary pressures, median 2700 mmHg, and highest percentages of fat extravasation, peaking at almost 90% of fat, were found for the unreamed nailing technique. The values for the reamed group were significantly lower.ConclusionsThe extravasation of intramedullary fat can be attributed to the great increase in intramedullary pressure that occurs during unreamed nailing. Correctly performed intramedullary reaming with the new reaming system produces lower pressures and much less systemic fat extravasation, reducing the risk for fat embolism. |
