 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 5 Needle radius fractures with intramedullary fixation for Author: HU Yi Shan, Lin Dan, Lin Wei-ray [Abstract] [Objective] To evaluate the two radial fractures treated with intramedullary nail method and effect. [Method] 26 patients with radial shaft fracture, 2 or 3 prism San Lengzhen Kirschner wire intramedullary nail fixation treatment, the Ministry of radial fracture restoration, since the Lister tubercle distal medial and lateral drilling into the marrow cavity, from the distal to the proximal medullary cavity penetration of two San Lengzhen or San Lengzhen Kirschner wire, pin tail bending embedded in bone, after limb to maintain a neutral position brake. [Results] All patients were followed up for 6 to 12 months, an average of 8. 5 months. 23 cases of fracture of the smooth healing, healing time 6 to 12 weeks, an average of 9.5 weeks. 3 cases of delayed healing, healing time was 18 to 20 weeks. Evaluation criteria according to Anderson: 92% excellent and good rate of forearm function. [Conclusion] The two San Lengzhen or San Lengzhen intramedullary Kirschner wire fixation of radial fractures, surgical trauma, the healing rate with few complications. [Keywords:] Radius; fracture; intramedullary nail With the treatment of long bone fractures using intramedullary nails increased intramedullary nail for the treatment of radial fractures has been increasing, but because of its operation cumbersome and costly internal fixation, a considerable number of patients can not be used. Application of high-quality low-cost internal fixation materials, so that patients can be simple and effective treatment, is more easily accept the majority of patients [1]. Since May 1997 ~ August 2006, the authors used two San Lengzhen or San Lengzhen Kirschner wire fixation for radial fracture with satisfactory effect. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General Information Since May 1997 ~ August 2006, the Court applied two San Lengzhen or a San Lengzhen plus an
