From: Further understanding on osteopetrotic femoral fractures: a case report and literature review
Challenges | Solutions |
---|---|
Drilling skills | Spaced cycles with low-speed drilling or use high-resistance and high-speed electric drill bits |
Intra-operative fracture | Avoid inappropriate violence and use of hammers |
Temperature control | Continuous cooling with saline, frequent change of drill bits |
Infection | Strict aseptic operation, control of operation time, preventive use of drugs as necessary |
Hip lag screw | Reducing length of drilling, tapping and inserting screws, regular cleaning of tap and screw tract |
Lateral plate | Fully tapping all holes before screw insertion |
