Intramedullary Nail Fixation for Metacarpal Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Metacarpal fractures are common, especially in men, and account for about 10% of all fractures in patients. The fracture pattern and location, and the degree of angulation are important in determining the optimal treatment approach. Although metacarpal fractures can be treated nonsurgically, certain indications such as irreducible fractures ...

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 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 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.

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 Distal Radius Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Intramedullary fixation is the latest in a variety of techniques that have been developed to manage distal radius fractures. Intramedullary nailing of these fractures combines the soft-tissue advantages of a less invasive surgical approach with the biomechanical advantages of locking screw technology.

Metacarpal Fracture Fixation with Intramedullary Screws

The Journal of Hand Surgery (Asian-Pacific Volume)
Background: Intramedullary screws (IMS) have become a viable option for metacarpal fracture fixation. To further appraise their utility, this study assessed clinical and patient-reported short- and medium-term outcomes of IMS fixation for extra-articular metacarpal fractures.

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 ...

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 Lateral Malleolus Fractures

Foot & Ankle International, 1994
A biomechanical evaluation of intramedullary versus buttress plate and lag screw fixation of lateral malleolus fractures is combined with a clinical evaluation of 44 patients with lateral malleolus fractures who underwent intramedullary screw fixation.
