Elastic nails made of the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (Nitinol) have been reported to control bone modeling in animal studies. However, the mechanical stability of the Nitinol nail in the fixation of long bone fractures remains unclear. This study

Stabilization of Fractures with the Use of Veterinary Interlocking Nails [PDF]
Interlocking nails (ILN) are effective tools for the fixation of long bone fractures, including humeral, femoral and tibial fractures. An interlocking nails are a steel rods which are placed in medullary canal of fractured bone.

Adjusting bone mass for differences in projected bone area and other confounding variables: an allometric perspective. [PDF]
The traditional method of assessing bone mineral density (BMD; given by bone mineral content [BMC] divided by projected bone area [Ap], BMD = BMC/Ap) has come under strong criticism by various authors. Their criticism being that the projected bone "area"

An in vivo evaluation of surface polishing of TAN intermedullary nails for ease of removal [PDF]
Fractures of the tibia and femoral diaphysis are commonly repaired by intra-medullary (IM) nailing. Currently IM nails are available in either electropolished stainless steel (SS) or in Titanium-Aluminium-Niobium (TAN).

Application of plasmatrix in vertical bone augmentation for implant placement
Vertical bone augmentation surgery still faces considerable challenges in clinical practice due to various problems, such as difficulty in restoring the ideal alveolar bone height and biological complications, and because it is highly technically ...

Coated nails: is their use supported by the literature?
. Antibiotic-coated intramedullary nails have been popularized in recent decades for treating long-bone infections. They are especially useful in treating diaphyseal infections requiring stability, such as those involving fractures and nonunions.

Factors Affecting Implant Failure in Fracture of the Shaft of Femur
17 cases of implant failure of fracture of shaft of femur were studied. All cases were young adults less than 40 years of age. 15 were males. 16 of 17 cases sustained their initial injury in road - traffic accidents.
