Lateral drill holes decrease strength of the femur: an observational study using finite element and experimental analyses

BACKGROUND: Internal fixation of femoral fractures requires drilling holes through the cortical bone of the shaft of the femur. Intramedullary suction reduces the fat emboli produced by reaming and nailing femoral fractures but requires four suction portals to be drilled into the femoral shaft. This...
