Intramedullary Fixation of Clavicle Fractures: Anatomy, Indications, Advantages, and Disadvantages.

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2017
To the Editor: I was disappointed, but not surprised, to read the article on intramedullary fixation of clavicle fractures.1 Except for Kirschner wire fixation, which has been abandoned, the authors failed to note that the first report of intramedullary ...

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

Intramedullary tibia nailing with external fixation

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2020
This 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

Biomechanics of Intramedullary Fracture Fixation

Orthopedics, 1985
Intramedullary 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, 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 ...

Intramedullary fixation for fractures of the hand

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1981
Twenty-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.

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 Screw Fixation of Metacarpal Fractures Results in Excellent Functional Outcomes: A Literature Review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2019
Background: Intramedullary fixation of a comminuted subcapital metacarpal fracture using a headless compression screw was first described in 2010.

Arthrodesis of the Knee with Intramedullary Fixation

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The 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, 1986
Intramedullary (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
