Femoral Venting for Femur Fractures
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to measure intraoperative embolic burden during prophylactic intramedullary nailing of impending femur fractures in patients treated with versus without venting, to find the association between embolic burden and intraoperative physiologic changes, measured using standard anesthesia monitors and charted data, to measure Immediate and short-term cardiopulmonary outcomes assessed during hospitalization and to assess procedure-related complications associated with venting

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- Femoral venting + intramedullary nailing
- Standard intramedullary nailing
