dc.description.abstractBackground: The aim of the study was to determine whether osteomyelitis of the femur or septic arthritis of the knee develops after retrograde intramedullary nailing of the femur performed within 7 days of supracondylar femur fracture, secondary to gunshot wounds, without skin defects. Methods: Fifteen patients with a mean age of 27.8 years (range, 18-52 years), with supracondylar fractures of the femur due to gunshot wounds and without skin defects. Retrograde intramedullary nails were inserted through the intercondylar notch of the femur. We evaluated whether osteomyelitis of the femur or ipsilateral septic arthritis of the knee joint developed postoperatively. Results: None of the patients who were followed up for a mean period of 11.7 months (range, 9-16 months) showed evidence of ipsilateral septic arthritis of the knee or osteomyelitis of the femur. Conclusion: Retrograde intramedullary nailing of the femur can be performed in patients with supracondylar fractures of the femur due to gunshot wounds, and without skin defects, in the first 7 days after the trauma. Neither osteomyelitis of the femur nor septic arthritis of the knee develops in these patients. Key Words: Osteomyelitis, Septic arthritis, Gunshot, Nailing, Femur, Retrograde.en_US
