  1. Retrograde Rodding Has Been Around for Years: Why are You Changing? I Get Results! Lisa K. Cannada, MD

  2. Disclosures • No pertinent disclosures • Member: – AAOS Board of Directors – MAOA Board of Directors – OTA Committee Member

  3. Ortho Jeopardy

  4. Femur Fractures for $1000

  5. The Answer: What is Retrograde Nailing?

  6. While Others May be Struggling…

  7. You Are Almost Done!

  8. What is the role of retrograde nails in management of femur fractures today? Answer: Any and All!

  9. INDICATIONS

  10. Retrograde Nailing Bilateral Femur Fractures The Floating Knee

  11. Retrograde Nailing Ipsilateral femoral neck fracture Ipsilateral operative pelvic or acetabular trauma

  12. Retrograde Nailing Soft tissue trauma near insertion of antegrade nail Morbid Obesity

  13. Retrograde Nailing Multiple trauma Severe trauma

  14. Retrograde Nailing Preexisting hardware Need for increased distal fixation points

  15. TECHNIQUE

  16. Pre-Op Planning • Radiographic Evaluation • Fracture pattern amenable • Devise a plan to determine length and rotation

  17. Positioning • Supine on table • Hip and knee draped free • Triangle or bolster under knee • Anesthesia help

  18. Surgical Approach • Medial parapatellar or tendon splitting approach

  19. Makes Your Case!

  20. Another Reduction Aid

  21. And if you Did Antergrade: Still Struggling…

  22. COMPLICATIONS

  23. Missed Femoral Neck Fractures: Much Worse if Antegrade • Treatment depends on timing of discovery • Adequate visualization BEFORE& AFTER case • Happens with both retrograde & antegrade

  24. Dr. Zura: “It” Hurts

  25. MYTHBUSTERS

  26. YOU CAN’T RGN AN OPEN FEMUR FRACTURE

  27. Conclusions/Myth Busted Relatively Low Rate of Knee Sepsis

  28. YOU CAN’T RGN A GSW FEMUR FRACTURE

  29. Conclusions/Myth Busted Relatively low incidence complications and deformity

  30. WHAT ABOUT THE MISSED FEMORAL NECK FRACTURE?

  31. Conclusions/Myth Busted No significant difference in missed FNF, but trend towards more missed…Always look!

  32. YOU CAN’T RGN PROXIMAL FEMUR FRACTURES

  33. Conclusions/Myth Busted Relatively low incidence complications and deformity

  34. Conclusion • No significant difference in healing rate, op time, complications • Acceptable form of treatment for femoral shaft fractures

  35. Even a Movie for This…
