“…Dr. Marius Nygaard Smith-Petersen was not the first to present a femoral neck fracture implant, but his three-flanged steal nail, which was introduced in 1930-1931 was considered an important improvement at that point (Smith-Petersen et al 1931, W.A.L. 1953.…”

“…Even before that time, in 1925, Smith-Petersen et al nailed a fracture of the femoral neck, marking the introduction of the first stainless steel nail implant. This implant, later available in vitallium as well, was designed with 3 flutes (star-shaped in cross section) to offer rotational stability to the bone-implant construct ( Figure 5) [52]. Improving on Smith-Petersen's example, in 1932 Johannson and Jerusalem stabilized a fracture of the femoral neck using the closed internal fixation method ( [18,19], after [5,36]), i.e., using an aiming device to insert the nail distant to the fracture site without opening up the joint (after [45]).…”

This work is designed to synthesize the literature and to give an overview of the historical development of intramedullary fixation. The intellectual seed for intramedullary fixation was planted in Mexico in the 16th century; 4 centuries of implant and technique development ensued. Intramedullary fixation in its nascency was an empiric craft defined by the organic-based implants (e. g. wood, ivory and bone) used at the time (16th century -1890). The advent of antiseptics and anesthesia (mid -1800s) transformed surgery into a scientific discipline and allowed for the routinization of surgical treatment for fractures. Technical advances including the use of radiography for positioning of implants and the development of biologically inert materials (early 1900s) paved the way for the first clinical series of intramedullary fixations and refinement of the method (1930 to 1940). Intramedullary fixation "traveled abroad" from Germany to North America during World War II, when American soldiers returned home with metallic implants in their medullary canals. Refinements in the method since that time include introduction of the reaming technique (1942), development of modern interlocking nails (1953), and measures to mitigate problems associated with fat emboli during reaming of the intramedullary canal. Breakthroughs in the area of bioresorbable materials may pave the way for further developments in the 21th century.

“…A classificação que inclui a fratura subcapital como um tipo, se deve a um erro de análise do exame radiológico, que faz com que o traço de fratura se altere dependendo da rotação dp membro inferior e da cabeça femoral, dando a falsa impressão da existência da mesma (16 Probably the mechanism described by Kocher (11) is what really happens in patients. The existence of a constant pattern of the fractures in the 126 cases reinforces the theory of Garden (7) , that the different types of fracture of femoral neck represent different stages of rotation of the same type of fracture.…”

RESUMOCento e vinte e seis cabeças femorais retiradas durante artroplastias de quadril para tratamento de fraturas do colo do fêmur foram estudadas macroscopicamente e radiograficamente quanto ao traço de fratura e a existência de colo inferior que pode permanecer junto com a cabeça femoral.Chegou-se a conclusão que as fraturas do colo do fêmur obedecem a uma constância quanto ao traço de fratura, e que não existe a fratura subcapital verdadeira, pois em todos os casos analisados havia um fragmento de colo junto com a cabeça (esporão). INTRODUÇÃODevido a importância das fraturas de colo de fêmur, tanto pela sua freqüência quanto pela sua gravidade, existem inúmeras publicações sobre o assunto. Para classificar essas fraturas são citadas nos livros clássicos as classificações quanto ao deslocamento (GARDEN) (7) , quanto ao traço de fratura (PAUWELS) (14) e quanto a situação anatômica. A classificação anatômica, descrita nos livros texto de Rockwood (14) , WatsonJones (18)
