Design 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 کاملOpen reduction and intramedullary nail fixation of closed tibial fractures.
Some tibial shaft fractures cannot be accurately reduced using closed or percutaneous techniques during an intramedullary nailing procedure. Under these circumstances, a formal open reduction can be performed. Direct exposure of the fracture facilitates accurate reduction but does violate the soft tissue envelope. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of open reducti...
متن کاملOutcome of Tibial Shaft Fractures Treated by Close Intramedullary Nail
Tibia is the most commonly fractured long bone in the body with an annual incidence of tibial shaft fractures 2 per 1000 individuals. The use of non-operative treatment of tibial fractures that are widely displaced or that are the result of high-energy forces is associated with a high prevalence of malunion, stiffness of the joint, and poor functional outcome. Closed Tibial diaphyseal fractures...
متن کاملSafe surgical technique: intramedullary nail fixation of tibial shaft fractures
Statically locked, reamed intramedullary nailing remains the standard treatment for displaced tibial shaft fractures. Establishing an appropriate starting point is a crucial part of the surgical procedure. Recently, suprapatellar nailing in the semi-extended position has been suggested as a safe and effective surgical technique. Numerous reduction techiques are available to achieve an anatomic ...
متن کاملIntramedullary fixation of tibial shaft fractures using an expandable nail: early results of 54 acute tibial shaft fractures.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and present our experience using the expandable nail system for the treatment of acute tibial shaft fractures. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Two level-1 trauma centers-University teaching hospitals. METHODS Fifty-four consecutive patients were treated by this nail system for acute tibial shaft fracture. Two nail diameters were used, 8.5 mm and 10 mm. Operation,...
