DISCUSSION Many have advocated the preferential use of the Gamma nail for
subtrochanteric fractures. 3–7 Indeed, its main advantage over pin–plate constructs lies in its …

Background Gamma nail was developed for the treatment of subtrochanteric hip fractures.
Despite its advantages over extramedullary devices, gamma nail has been historically …

The Gamma nail is frequently used in unstable peri-trochanteric hip fractures. We
hypothesised that mechanical failure of the Gamma nail was associated with inadequate …

Purpose: The assessment of long term results and complications rate using the GN and PFN
nailing systems for the treatment of peritrochanteric fractures of the femur. Material-Methods …

The Gamma nail was introduced for the treatment of peritrochanteric fractures with the
theoretical advantage of a load-sharing femoral component which could be implanted by a …

Introduction: The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical outcome of
traumatic subtrochanteric fractures fixed with long proximal femoral nail (PFN) or long …

Surgical fixation, early weight-bearing, and bony union remain a challenge in the treatment
of peritrochanteric femur fractures, especially if the fractures are comminuted or unstable …

Nine pairs of human cadaveric femora were used to study the biomechanical characteristics
of the Gamma nail and a standard telescoping screw plate implant (Ambi) to determine …

Gamma nail is a cephalomedullary implant that was developed for the treatment of
pertrochanteric hip fractures and has been successfully used for over 20 years. During this …
