Clinical trials: Intramedullary
Fracture Fixation, Intramedullary, Surgical Wound Infection
Incidence and Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infection After Intramedullary Nailing of Femoral and Tibial Fractures
Diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures are in the spotlight within the traumatology-orthopedics scenario. Intramedullary nailing (IMN) remains the method of choice for treating these fractures, both open and closed ones.
- Trial name
- NCT03148067
- Testing
- Intramedullary nailing for fracture fixation
- Volunteers
- 225 people
