Expandable intramedullary nail: review of biomechanical studies
This article reviews studies of Fixion expandable nail biomechanical properties in case of long bones fractures osteosynthesis. The purpose of this study was to systematize biomechanical researches dedicated to the expandable nail. There were found seven biomechanical studies published between 2005 and 2008. Among them, six studies are devoted to mechanical experiments, and one is a comment to ...
متن کاملDesign of a new tibial intramedullary nail
Aim of this work is designing a new intramedullary nail able to reduce the drawbacks of the distal locking, ensuring the axial stability, so enabling a speedy recovery of the fracture and a time-reduced immobilization of the limb. During the first phases of the design process, the parametric CAD model has been carried out and, successively, several numerical analyses have been set up to verify ...
متن کاملIntramedullary leg lengthening with a motorized nail
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the last decade, intramedullary limb lengthening has become a viable alternative to traditional external systems. We retrospectively analyzed the use of an intramedullary motorized nail (Fitbone) in a consecutive series of 32 patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS During the period September 2006 to December 2008, 32 consecutive patients with a median age of 17 (IQR: 15-19) ...
متن کاملLeg lengthening over an intramedullary nail.
Distraction osteogenesis is widely used for leg lengthening, but often requires a long period of external fixation which carries risks of pin-track sepsis, malalignment, stiffness of the joint and late fracture of the regenerate. We present the results of 20 cases in which, in an attempt to reduce the rate of complications, a combination of external fixation and intramedullary nailing was used....
متن کاملTibial rotational osteotomy with intramedullary nail fixation
There are several theoretic advantages of using intramedullary rod fixation for tibial osteotomy fixation. We performed a retrospective review of patients who were treated with a mid-diaphyseal osteotomy of the tibia fixed with an intramedullary rod for isolated, symptomatic tibial torsion. Forty patients (59 tibias) were included in the study and were followed for a minimum of 12 months or unt...
