Operative Cost Comparison: Plating Versus Intramedullary Fixation for Clavicle Fractures.

Orthopedics, 2016
Although clavicle fractures often heal well with nonoperative management, current literature has shown improved outcomes with operative intervention for specific fracture patterns in specific patient types.

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2010
Intramedullary 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 Nails Yield Superior Results Compared to Plate Fixation when using the Masquelet Technique in the Femur and Tibia.'

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2019
OBJECTIVES To determine the optimal fixation method (Intramedullary Nail (IMN) vs. plate fixation (PF)) for treating critical bone defects with the induced membrane technique (IMT), also known as the Masquelet Technique.

Intramedullary Fixation of Distal Radius Fractures

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2009
Intramedullary 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

Early clinical and radiographic outcomes of intramedullary-fixation total ankle arthroplasty.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2015
BACKGROUND The present study evaluated the early clinical outcomes, radiographic parameters, and survivorship of first and second-generation INBONE intramedullary-fixation total ankle arthroplasties.

Intramedullary Fixation Of Unstable Metacarpal Fractures

Hand Clinics, 2006
Intramedullary 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

Unstable Ankle Fracture Fixation Using Locked Fibular Intramedullary Nail in High‐Risk Patients

Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2019
Open reduction internal fixation is the gold standard for unstable ankle fracture fixation; however, complications in patients with multiple medical comorbidities are common.

Intramedullary Screw Fixation of Jones Fractures

Foot & Ankle International, 2001
Background: 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 ...

Stable Fixation and Immediate Weight-Bearing After Combined Retrograde Intramedullary Nailing and Open Reduction Internal Fixation of Noncomminuted Distal Interprosthetic Femur Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2018
Summary: With an aging population, treatment of interprosthetic femur fractures continues to pose a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeon. Retrograde intramedullary nailing combined with open reduction internal fixation using a tissue-preserving plating ...

Flexible Intramedullary Fixation of Femoral Fractures

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988
Fifty 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.
