Biomechanics of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation

Orthopedics, 1985

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Fibula Fractures

Foot & Ankle Specialist, 2021
Background Ankle fractures pose a unique challenge to the treating orthopedic surgeon. Intramedullary (IM) distal fibula fixation is a relatively newer entity offering a viable option to minimize wound complications while providing similar outcomes. Our study utilizes an IM nail featuring proximal fixation via IM talons ensuring maintenance of fracture
