Hanke M Djonov V Tannast M Keel MJ Bastian JD 2016 Medial penetration of the helical blade into the hip joint after fixation of trochanteric fractures using the proximal femur nail antirotation (PFN-A) is a potential failure mode. In low demand patients a blade exchange with cement augmentation may be an option if conversion to total hip arthroplasty is unfeasible to salvage the cut-through. This article describes a technique to avoid intraarticular cement leakage using a cement plug to close the defect in the femoral head caused by the cut-through. https://sonar.ch/global/documents/57849 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1007/s00402-016-2447-3 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/27010468 Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery. - 2016 Cement augmentation Cut-through Intramedullary nail Low demand Proximal femur fracture Salvage Aged Aged, 80 and over Bone Cements Bone Nails Cadaver Extravasation of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Materials Female Femur Head Hip Fractures Hip Joint Humans Male Prosthesis Design Prevention of cement leakage into the hip joint by a standard cement plug during PFN-A cement augmentation: a technical note. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
