Antegrade Intramedullary Screw Fixation: A Novel Approach to Metacarpal Fractures
Metacarpal fractures are common upper-extremity fractures. Surgical fixation is recommended for open injuries, segmental bone loss, multiple metacarpal fractures, irreducible fractures, and unstable fracture patterns.

Fluoroscopic freehand and electromagnetic-guided targeting system for distal locking screws of humeral intramedullary nail [PDF]
Purpose The current techniques used to lock distal screws for the nailing of long bone fractures expose the surgeons, radiologists and patients to a hearty dose of ionizing radiation.

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Fibula Fractures [PDF]
Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: The current gold-standard for unstable distal fibula fractures is plate and screw fixation; however, intramedullary distal fibular fixation is becoming more commonplace. Although surgeons may consider this technique only for patients requiring extra soft tissue protection, recent studies are showing that it is a ...

Role of Intramedullary Fibular Fixation: Strategies for Addressing Complex Pilon Fractures [PDF]
Aim and background: Pilon fractures are usually the result of a high-energy mechanism and are widely considered more of a soft tissue injury secondary to the high rates of soft tissue complications that arise from them.

Use of blocked intramedullary shaft for the treatment of humeral diaphyseal fractures [PDF]
Clinical and radiographic outcomes of 31 patients with humeral diaphyseal fractures submitted to surgery with intramedullary shafts were studied. From these, four patients presented fractures at the shaft insertion site and were treated using a different
