Intramedullary Fixation of Forearm Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Plate fixation remains the primary surgical treatment option for most adult forearm fractures. However, intramedullary nailing can be successful and might be preferable in cases of massive soft-tissue injury and burns, certain segmental fractures, pathologic fractures, and skeletally immature adolescent patients.

Intramedullary fixation of fracture of the sternum

Injury, 1988
A case of fracture of the sternum in a patient suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta is presented. Internal fixation was carried out using a plate which was placed within the medulla. The described technique is simple and useful for the rarely indicated operative treatment of fractures of the sternum.

Intramedullary Fixation of Midshaft Clavicle Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2017
Summary: Clavicle fractures are among the most common fractures occurring in the general population, and the vast majority are localized in the midshaft portion of the bone. Management of midshaft clavicle fractures remains controversial. Although many can be managed nonoperatively, certain patient populations and fracture patterns, such as ...

Intramedullary Fixation for Proximal Humeral Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2020
Proximal humeral fractures are a commonly encountered injury; however, no consensus has been reached for the ideal treatment. Current surgical fixation options include plate, plate with fibular strut allograft, intramedullary fixation, pinning, suture constructs, and external fixation.

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF METACARPAL FRACTURES

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957
• The treatment of fractures by inserting longitudinal intramedullary wires for fixation has been applied in 30 patients with metacarpal fractures. Local anesthesia was obtained for fractures of the fifth metacarpal (80 % of this series) by blocking the ulnar nerve, which is easily accessible at the elbow. Reduction is accomplished with direct pressure

The Mechanics and Biology of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986
Intramedullary (IM) fracture fixation serves to stabilize fracture fragments and maintains alignment, while permitting motion at the fracture site during functional activities. Acting as an internal splint, the implant serves as a load-sharing device and fracture healing progresses with the formation of peripheral callus. By allowing motion of adjacent
