INTRAMEDULLARY-WIRE FIXATION OF MALLET FINGER
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1957The 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 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

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 for fractures of the hand
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1981Twenty-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.

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.

COMPLICATIONS OF INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF FRACTURES OF THE FEMUR
Archives of Surgery, 1951A 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, 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 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.

Intramedullary Fixation of Midshaft Clavicle Fractures
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2017Summary: 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 ...
