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.

Intramedullary Fixation for Proximal Humeral Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2020
Proximal 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.

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 ...

Comparative Study of Intramedullary Hammertoe Fixation

Foot & Ankle International, 2018
Background: 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 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

Intramedullary Fixation of Hand Fractures and Arthrodeses

The Journal of Hand Surgery
Intramedullary fixation has long been popular for fracture fixation in the upper extremity from the shoulder through the carpus. Recently, intramedullary fixation in the hand has gained increasing interest, specifically in the metacarpals and phalanges, corresponding with the development of improved cannulated headless screw technology.

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.

COMPLICATIONS OF INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF FRACTURES OF THE FEMUR

Archives of Surgery, 1951
A GROWING popularity for intramedullary treatment of femoral shaft fractures is indicated by the increasing number of medical articles and views on the subject in this country. While complications may occur, most are avoidable, and in spite of them, there is a real justification for this trend because the patient is returned to a physiological state ...

INTERLOCKING INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF HAND FRACTURES

Orthopedics, 1993
Abstract 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 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
