Application of a humeral intramedullary nail for subtrochanteric fracture in a patient with poliomyelitis sequelae: a case report

For special types of subtrochanteric fractures with severe femoral medullary canal stenosis due to conditions like poliomyelitis sequelae, the application of a humeral intramedullary nail is a safe and effective innovative treatment strategy. This approach provides reliable intramedullary fixation. This experience offers a valuable reference for managing similar complex orthopedic problems.
