is a magnetic-manual targeting device an appealing alternative for distal locking of tibial intramedullary nails?
conclusions due to our satisfactory test results, the brief training, the steep learning curve and the radiation-free technique the new device has to be considered an appealing alternative for distal locking. objectives our cadaver study was performed to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of this device. materials and methods in two runs, 30 probands (group 1: 10 students; group 2: 10 residen...
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...
متن کاملThe Role of Biplanar Distal Locking in Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Shaft Fractures
Background: To compare the union times of the uncomplicated tibial shaft fractures, which were distally locked by twocoronal and one sagittal screws and by only two coronal screws.Methods: 45 patients with tibial shaft treated with intramedullary nailing included in this study. 23 of 45 fractureswere treated with uniplanar two distal interlocking (Group 1) and 22 fractures were treated with bip...
متن کاملPosterior to anterior distal locking of humeral intramedullary nails
TECHNIQUE Humeral nailing is performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position with the image intensifier at 90o to the patient (Fig 1). During freehand distal locking, the patient’s arm rests on his or her body and the forearm is rested on the anterior pelvic support on sterile padding. By changing the amount of padding, arm rotation can be adjusted to give a perfect view of the dis...
متن کاملDistal Locking Screws for Intramedullary Nailing of Tibial Fractures.
Recently introduced tibial intramedullary nails allow a number of distal screws to be used to reduce the incidence of malalignment and loss of fixation of distal metaphyseal fractures. However, the number of screws and the type of screw configuration to be used remains obscure. This biomechanical study was performed to address this question. Thirty-six Expert tibial nails (Synthes, Oberdorf, Sw...
