Abstract: (243 Views)
Background: Intramedullary nail (IMN) usage is a proposed method for fixing long bone fractures. Distal nail screw implantation can be achieved through two methods, the conventional C-arm method and the C-arm-based navigation method.
Objectives: This study aims to compare the two mentioned methods in terms of their consequences, such as duration of operation, times of radiation exposure, and the success rate of screw implantation in patients with femur or tibia fractures.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial involved 44 patients with femur or tibia fractures, equally divided into control and intervention groups. The conventional C-arm method and C-arm-based navigation method were respectively used in the control and intervention groups for distal Kuntscher screw implantation. The radiation exposure times, the duration of surgery, the number of attempts to implant each screw, and the success rate of each screw implantation were recorded.
Results: The success rate and duration of distal nail screw implantation were almost the same in the study groups. However, using the C-arm-based navigation method significantly reduced the amount of radiation exposure.
Conclusion: Using navigation as a new technology in orthopedics may have a beneficial impact on the process of distal IMN screws implantation.
