    Notes: n = 10; diameter 9 mm, n = 10) were inserted in paired human cadaver tibiae. The results showed lateral translations of –4.5±3.5 mm (mean and standard deviation, range 14.3 mm) and dorsal translations of –7.8±5.8 mm (mean and standard deviation, range 19.2 mm). Rotational deformations around the longitudinal axis of the nail were 0.3±0.7° (mean and standard deviation, range 2.4°). The results showed, that a simple aiming arm, mounted on the proximal nail end, alone or even in combination with a large working channel (e.g. 10 mm in diameter), was not adequate to the aiming process. A radiographic-morphometric analysis was subsequently performed in 40 tibiae after experimental (n = 20) or clinical (n = 20) implantation of nails 8 mm and 9 mm in diameter. These measurements showed a relatively constant distance between the upper distal transverse hole and the anterior aspect of the tibia (average 12.3 mm and only a narrow range (7.6 mm). These data were the basis for the development of an aiming technique that exploits the relatively constant distance between the distal nail hole and the anterior aspect of the tibia. This aiming device is set at a distance of 12.3 mm from the anterior cortex, and the fine tuning is finally resolved by the use of a `working channel' 10 mm in diameter.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie war die vergleichende Untersuchung verschiedener Femurverriegelungsnägel auf die Primärstabilität im Knochen-Implantat Verbund (KIV). Dabei wurden die folgenden Implantate in einer Modellosteosynthese getestet: AO-Universal-Femur-nagel (AOU) 11 mm, AO unaufgebohrter Femurnagel Stahl 9 mm, Verriegelung mit 3,2–3,9-mm-Bolzen (SUFN3,9), SUFN 9 mm, mit 4,3–4,9-mm-Bolzen (SUFN4,9), AO unaufgebohrter Femurnagel Titan (12TUFN) 12 mm, mit 4,3–4,9-mm-Bolzen, TUFN 9 mm, Verriegelung mit 4,3–4,9-mm-Bolzen (9TUFN). Die Prüfungen wurden mit einer Universalprüfmaschine an 40 humanen, gepaarten, kältekonservierten Kadaverfemora durchgeführt. Jeder einzelne Knochen wurde zunächst im intakten Zustand geprüft, dann wurde die Osteotomie durchgeführt und das jeweilige Implantat eingesetzt. Ausgewertet wurde die relative Steifigkeit. Es zeigte sich eine signifikant höhere Torsionssteifigkeit der nicht soliden ungeschlitzten Femurnägel im Vergleich zu dem geschlitzten AOU. Die Biegesteifigkeit des KIV des TUFN mit 12 mm Durchmesser war signifikant höher als die Biegesteifigkeit des KIV der anderen Implantate. Bei der axialen Belastung zeigte der KIV des SUFN4,9 eine signifikant höhere Steifigkeit als der KIV des TUFN. Die Steifigkeitsunterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen KIV waren bei der axialen Belastung und Biegebelastung relativ geringer als bei der Torsion. Für die Torsionssteifigkeit ist das Nagelprofil (±Schlitz) entscheidender Parameter. Zwischen den soliden Implantaten zeigten sich ebenfalls signifikante Unterschiede für die Biegung und axiale Belastung.
    Notes: Abstract Today there is a variety of different interlocking intramedullary nail designs available for the femur – each designed with a different approach to achieve stability for fracture fixation. We compared different nail types in the bone-implant complex (BIC) of four unreamed solid nails and a slotted, reamed nail to see if there are major differences in stiffness for axial load, bending and torsion. We simulated comminuted mid-shaft fractures by a 2 cm defect osteotomy in paired human cadaver femora. Each bone was tested intact in a Universal testing machine. The results were recorded, osteotomy and osteosynthesis were performed, and the BIC was tested. Relative stiffness was calculated for each individual bone. For P-values less than 0.01 (`least significance difference test') the difference between groups was considered to be significant. In torque testing the unslotted solid nails showed significantly more stiffness (0.6–1.8 Nm/°) compared to the slotted nail (0.2 Nm/°). Compared to intact bone (6.9 Nm/°), both groups of nails were significantly less stiff (relative stiffness 2–20%). In axial load and bending testing, the large-diameter unreamed nail showed greater higher stiffness (32–68%). This study shows that stiffness of the BIC in interlocking femoral nails is more dependent on nail profile than on the press-fit of nails in the medullary canal. For torque stiffness the absence of a slot is of special importance. According to our study, all of the unslotted nails tested give adequate stability for fracture fixation.
