Arthrodesis of the Knee with Intramedullary Fixation
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983The application of intramedullary fixation for arthrodesis of the knee has been limited by the technical problems of rod failure and fracture of the femur at the rod insertion site. Improved implant design and rod insertion technique were utilized in seven patients with uniformly successful results.

The Mechanics and Biology of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Intramedullary (IM) fracture fixation serves to stabilize fracture fragments and maintains alignment, while permitting motion at the fracture site during functional activities. Acting as an internal splint, the implant serves as a load-sharing device and fracture healing progresses with the formation of peripheral callus. By allowing motion of adjacent

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

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 Distal Radius Fractures
Hand Clinics, 2010Intramedullary 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 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

Flexible Intramedullary Fixation of Femoral Fractures
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988Fifty 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.

Arthrodesis of the knee with intramedullary nail fixation.
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1990Thirty-three patients had an arthrodesis of the knee by means of an intramedullary nail introduced through the greater trochanter. Fifteen of the procedures were done for a failed knee arthroplasty; eight had failed because of infection and seven, because of aseptic loosening.

The Role of Intramedullary Fixation in Open Fractures
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Intramedullary nailing of open fractures requires careful surgical judgment, consideration of alternative techniques, and the ability to use a number of different methods, including various designs with or without obligatory reaming. With good technique and well-selected indications, intramedullary nailing of open fractures may offer advantages not ...
