A newly developed rinsing‐suction‐reamer (RSR) was able to substantially reduce the pressure and bone marrow intravasation content during experimental femoral nailing. We investigated the pathophysiological effects using the RSR, testing the hypothesis that by reducing marrow fat embolization, RSR would also reduce the activation of coagulation compared with the universial AO‐Reamer (AOR) and comparable to external fixation. Twenty‐two pigs were treated with either simulated external fixation or reamed femoral nailing using AOR or RSR. During surgery, the intramedullary pressure was measured and intravasation of medullary material was quantified. After surgery, the pigs were kept anaesthetised and monitored for 6 h. At defined intervals, serological, hematological, and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated. The RSR was significantly superior when compared to AOR with regard to the generation of intramedullary pressure and fat embolization; however, with external fixation the values were even lower. The evaluation of other parameters revealed no clear differences between the two reamers and the external fixator. The pig model showed that RSR led to a significant reduction of the intramedullary increase in pressure and fat intravasation compared to AOR. Although the reduction of fat embolism by RSR is not associated with pathophysiological changes, RSR can have advantages for the treatment of femoral fractures. © 2006 Orthopaedic Research Society.
