Sequential reconstruction of complex femoral fractures with circular hybrid Sheffield frame in polytrauma patients

Abstract: The timing of definitive fixation for major fractures in polytrauma patients is controversial. We investigated the outcome of the Sheffield hybrid system (SHF) as a solution in the role of primary and definitive fixator for patient with open femoral fractures in whom definitive osteosynthesis with intramedullary nail can be associated with higher rate of complications. Eleven patients (7 men and 4 women), mean age of 40.4 years (range 14-75 years) with previous injury severity score (ISS) greater than or equal… Show more
