Figure 1 - *MIS procedures experienced significantly earlier return to function than conventional procedure. (p=0.001, log-rank test, isolated) * In a series of 136 patients with femoral fractures treated using Standard or MIS Femoral IM Nailing Procedures, patients with isolated femoral fractures treated with an MIS Nailing Procedure were able to weight bear significantly earlier than those treated with a Standard Nailing Procedure. There was no statistical difference in union rates, reoperation rates or final clinical outcome. Data on file, Zimmer, Inc. |
