| dc.description.abstract | A 21-year-old male patient with Duchenne Dystrophy suffered an AO/OTA 32 B3.1 fracture of his left femur. Despite the femur`s anatomy, the fracture`s morphology and the patient`s weight (53.2kg) the osteosynthesis was performed using a rigid humerus nail. The fracture healed uneventfully after 12 weeks. The use of a rigid humeral nail is a suitable procedure for the treatment of type B femoral shaft fractures in patients with muscular dystrophy. This procedure should especially be considered if these patients have a body weight of more than 50 kilograms and in multifragmentary fractures. | en |
