Intramedullary tibia nailing with external fixation

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2020
This study introduces an intramedullary nailing technique with external fixation and aims to determine the safest position of Schanz screws for this technique.Patients undergoing intramedullary nailing were evaluated by computed tomography to assess the anteroposterior (AP) length of the medullary canal and the distance between the posterior cortex and

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-WIRE FIXATION OF MALLET FINGER

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1957
The modification of Pratt's technique used by the author appears to give a high percentage of good results its fresh ruptures and to provide a useful finger, occasionally even a normal finger, in older ruptures. It will probably give better results than open operation in the older ruptures, unless the surgeon is especially skilled and experienced in ...

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF THE TIBIA

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1952
Thirty-four tibiae have been fixed by means of nested U-nails of which twenty-six have been followed from one to four years. There was rapid union of the tibia in all cases. Displacement or resection of a piece of the fibula is an essential part of this procedure, in spite of the fact that non-union of the fibula may occur.

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.

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

Biomechanics of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation

Orthopedics, 1985
Intramedullary rodding allows excellent control of bending forces on long bone fractures when adequate sized rods are used. This is made possible by reaming when necessary. Torsional stability is poor if adequate bone nail contact is not obtained and there is little bone fragment interdigitation.

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 fractures of the hand

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1981
Twenty-seven fractures in 22 patients were treated with an intramedullary rod, introduced through the fracture fragments, without violating the joint surfaces. Twenty-six fractures united. There was one nonunion and one migration of the pin into the joint; there were no infections.

Arthrodesis of the Knee with Intramedullary Fixation

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The application of intramedullary fixation for arthrodesis of the knee has been limited by the technical problems of rod failure and fracture of the femur at the rod insertion site. Improved implant design and rod insertion technique were utilized in seven patients with uniformly successful results.
