Novel Passive Two-Stage Magnetic Targeting Devices for Distal Locking of Interlocking Nails
Interlocking nailing is a common surgical operation to stabilize fractures in long bones. One of the difficult parts of the surgery is how to locate the position and direction of a screw hole on the interlocking nail, which is invisible to the naked eye after insertion of the nail into the medullary canal. Here, we propose a novel two-stage targeting process using two passive magnetic devices t...
متن کاملis 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 کاملPerceptions and Realities for Distal Freehand Interlocking of Intramedullary Nails
There is a perception that distal freehand interlocking (DFHI) of intramedullary nails can be difficult and time consuming. This study consists of a survey of surgeons' practices for DFHI screws and their reasons for not using this technique. A survey was sent to 1400 orthopaedic surgeons who were asked to agree or disagree with statements regarding the difficulty and indications for the usage ...
متن کاملDistal locking of femoral nails: evaluation of a new radiation-independent targeting system.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a novel radiation-independent aiming device for distal locking of intramedullary nails in a human cadaver model. METHODS A new targeting system was used in 25 intact human cadaver femora for the distal locking procedure after insertion of an intramedullary nail. The number of successful screw placements and the time neede...
