Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Fibula Fractures
Foot & Ankle Specialist, 2021Background 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

Intramedullary tibia nailing with external fixation
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2020This 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 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

Intramedullary Fixation for Proximal Humeral Fractures
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2020Proximal 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.

Comparative Study of Intramedullary Hammertoe Fixation
Foot & Ankle International, 2018Background: Temporary Kirschner wire fixation (K-wire) is a widely used, low-cost fixation method for the correction of hammertoe deformity. Reported complications associated with K-wires prompted the development of new implants over the past decade.

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF THE TIBIA
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1952Thirty-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.

Biomechanics of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation
Orthopedics, 1985Intramedullary 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.

INTERLOCKING INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF HAND FRACTURES
Orthopedics, 1993Abstract Reduction and stabilization can be especially difficult in treating comminuted hand fractures with bone loss or nonunion. Two cases are presented to illustrate a method of intramedullary fixation using an AO mini fragment reconstruction plate, which allows interlocking fixation proximally and distali).

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURES
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957• A pathological fracture increases the suffering of a patient, makes nursing care more difficult, predisposes the patient to hypostatic pneumonia and decubitus ulcers, and sometimes interferes with necessary treatment of the underlying disease. The insertion of an intramedullary nail contributes to the comfort and prolongs the life of the patient in ...

Femoral Malrotation Following Intramedullary Nail Fixation
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon, 2011Intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fracture can result in inadvertent malalignment. Malrotation is the most common cause of deformity, but it is underrecognized, in part because of the difficulty in accurately assessing rotation as well as the variation that exists in normal anatomy.
