A novel pre-bending tool for elastic stable intramedullary nailing: An efficient and accurate study
Purpose: The elastic stable intramedullary nail has been recognized as an accepted technique for treating pediatric long bone fractures. The principle of the technique is “3-point support and fixation,” and it should be followed to achieve the optimum ...

Tibia Antibiotic Intramedullary Nail
Summary: This video depicts the materials and steps for creating an antibiotic cement spacer in the form of an intramedullary nail and demonstrates how to insert the nail into a tibia. The indication for this patient was a history of a type 3B open tibia fracture 6 months before treated with an intramedullary nail that subsequently developed ...

High Irritation and Removal Rates After Plate or Nail Fixation in Patients With Displaced Midshaft Clavicle Fractures [PDF]
Background: Studies comparing plate with intramedullary nail fixation of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures show faster recovery in the plate group and implant-related complications in both groups after short-term followup (6 or 12 months).
