"However, its use for the treatment of non-union of distal femoral fractures has been unsuccessful. ... Transarticular intramedullary fixation, which can be used for internal fixation of a non-union with a short distal fragment, should be considered a salvage procedure. ... Furthermore, Johnson, et al, reported a case of synovial metallosis resulting from transarticular nailing of the distal part of the femur.
- We would like to discuss two aspects of this: The first is whether the retrograde nail can be used in treatment of non-union of distal femoral fractures successfully as well as the one case of synovial metallosis resulting from transarticular nailing of the distal part of the femur.

- What is a Fracture of the Distal Humerus? .
- The humerus is the long bone in the upper arm, a relatively thick bone with a large, smooth head at the proximal end (where it meets the shoulder) and a number of projections (or processes) at the distal end, the area of the elbow.

- An AO titanium volar distal radius T-plate (Synthes Corp, Paoli, Pa) is then positioned on the volar surface of the radius as distally as possible. Usually, the most medial and lateral holes on the distal transverse portion of the plate are removed with the specific plate cutter included in the set. ...

- In this series, none of the fractures were so comminuted that distal fragment fixation was not possible. ... In addition, when the distal fragment is small, such that distal screw fixation may be tenuous, plate application may be ill advised.
- Our results are comparable with the published literature on other treatments of distal radius fractures. ...
