Intramedullary fixation of fracture of the sternum

Injury, 1988
A case of fracture of the sternum in a patient suffering from osteogenesis imperfecta is presented. Internal fixation was carried out using a plate which was placed within the medulla. The described technique is simple and useful for the rarely indicated operative treatment of fractures of the sternum.

Intramedullary screw fixation for metacarpal shaft fractures: a biomechanical human cadaver study

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2020
Intramedullary cannulated compression screws have been introduced for the fixation of unstable metacarpal fractures. In the present study, this technique was compared with dorsal compression plating to evaluate its biomechanical performance in ...

Intramedullary Fixation of Forearm Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Plate fixation remains the primary surgical treatment option for most adult forearm fractures. However, intramedullary nailing can be successful and might be preferable in cases of massive soft-tissue injury and burns, certain segmental fractures, pathologic fractures, and skeletally immature adolescent patients.

Intramedullary Nail Fixation for Metacarpal Fractures [PDF]

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 PATHOLOGICAL FRACTURES [PDF]

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 ...

INTRAMEDULLARY FIXATION OF THE TIBIA

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1952
Thirty-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.

INTRAMEDULLARY-WIRE FIXATION OF MALLET FINGER

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1957
The 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 ...
