Expandable intramedullary nails for fixation of tibial shaft fractures.
Interlocking intramedullary nailing is currently the preferred treatment for most tibial fractures requiring operative treatment, with good results and a relatively low complication rate as reported in large clinical series. However, vascular and neurological complications caused by interlocking screws have been reported. In addition, insertion of distal interlocking screws can be technically d...
متن کاملTibial lengthening over intramedullary nails
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the results and complications of tibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail with treatment using the traditional Ilizarov method. METHODS In this matched case study, 16 adult patients underwent 19 tibial lengthening over nails (LON) procedures. For the matched case group, 17 patients who underwent 19 Ilizarov tibial lengthenings were ret...

متن کاملFixion nails for humeral fractures.
Humeral fractures in the setting of multi-trauma are usually managed with internal fixation. We prospectively followed nine patients treated with an expandable nail (Fixion, DiscoTech, Medical Technologies, Herzliya, Israel), until union. Internal fixation rapidly stabilises the injured limb, and the lack of distal cross-bolting in this device markedly reduced our operative time. There were no ...
متن کاملIs a Magnetic-Manual Targeting Device an Appealing Alternative for Distal Locking of Tibial Intramedullary Nails?
BACKGROUND In order to enable a radiation-free, accurate and simple positioning of distal locking screws, a combined magnetic and manual targeting system has been developed by Sanatmetal®. Where a low-frequency magnetic field is initially used to detect the position of the first drill hole and three more holes can be found with a mechanical template. OBJECTIVES Our cadaver study was performed...
