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.

Intramedullary Nail Fixation for Metacarpal Fractures
Hand Clinics, 2010Metacarpal 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, 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 ...

Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Jones Fractures
Foot & Ankle International, 2001Background: 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, 2006Intramedullary 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 Distal Radius Fractures
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009Intramedullary 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
