New intramedullary locking nail for olecranon fracture fixation--an in vitro biomechanical comparison with tension band wiring.

Journal of Trauma, 2010
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the difference in displacement of a newly designed intramedullary olecranon fracture fixation device compared with multifilament tension band wiring after 4 cycles and 300 cycles of dynamic continuous ...

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009
Intramedullary fixation has recently received increased enthusiasm as an option for distal radius fracture fixation. Indications for this fracture fixation technique should be limited to predominately displaced extra-articular or simple intra-articular distal radius fractures. Intramedullary fixation permits limited soft tissue dissection and insertion

Intramedullary Fixation Of Unstable Metacarpal Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2006
Intramedullary stabilization of metacarpal shaft and neck fractures is a relatively simple, cost-effective, and safe technique with good published outcomes (Fig. 9); however definite advantages over other techniques of fracture stabilization, or indeed simple early mobilization in some instances, have not been clearly demonstrated. A recent publication

Comparative biomechanical analysis of supracondylar femur fracture fixation: locked intramedullary nail versus 95-degree angled plate.

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 1997
OBJECTIVES To compare the initial stability of the genucephalic (GSH) intramedullary nail and the 95-degree condylar compression screw and side plate (DCS) for distal femur fractures. DESIGN Human cadaveric biomechanical study.

Flexible Intramedullary Fixation of Femoral Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988
Fifty femoral fractures in 47 patients were treated by the insertion of flexible intramedullary Ender rods and observed until fracture healing was complete. Both condylocephalic and trochanteric approaches were used with a preference for the latter when biomechanically feasible.

Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Jones Fractures

Foot & Ankle International, 2001
Background: Jones fractures of the fifth metatarsal can be stabilized using intramedullary screw fixation techniques. A range of screw diameters from 4.5 mm to 6.5 mm can be used, but the optimal screw for this procedure has yet to be defined. In clinical practice, we have observed that failure is more likely when smaller diameter screws are used ...

Intramedullary fixation of humeral shaft fractures.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1984
In this paper we document seventy fractures of the humeral shaft that were treated by intramedullary fixation between 1970 and 1981. Complications developed in forty-seven (67 per cent) of the fractures, and forty-five (64 per cent) required at least one additional operative procedure.

Intramedullary Headless Screw Fixation for Metacarpal Fractures

Techniques in Hand & Upper Extremity Surgery, 2020
Multiple techniques have been proposed for metacarpal fracture fixation, including percutaneous Kirschner-wires, interfragmentary screws, plate and screw constructs, intramedullary (IM) nails, and cannulated IM headless screws. Each of these treatment options has its proposed advantages and disadvantages, and there remains no consensus on the optimal ...

Biomechanical comparison of intramedullary and percutaneous pin fixation for proximal humeral fracture fixation.

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 1997
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanical strength and durability of intramedullary nailing (IM) and percutaneous pinning (PP) for fixation of three-part proximal humeral fractures using a cadaveric model. DESIGN Three-part
