Mechanical failure in intramedullary interlocking nails.

Intramedullary Interlocking Nail Fixation in Dogs and Cats: Biomechanics and Instrumentation*

of diaphyseal long bone fractures. Interlocking nails have transverse cannulations that accommodate transcortical screws, allowing surgeons to firmly fix the rod within the medullary canal, thereby effectively neutralizing bending, rotational, and axial forces that act on fractures. Interlocking nails have become increasingly To counter axial and rotational forces, intramedullary nails were dev...

Evaluation of Cyclic Cut-Out Failure in Intramedullary Nails: A Comparison Between Single Lag Screws and Integrated Interlocking Screws

The functional results of tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nail compressed by proximal tube.

Nailing of tibial shaft fractures is considered the gold standard surgical method by many surgeons. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate and compare the clinical outcome of tibial shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nails compressed by proximal tube and conventional intramedullary interlocking nails. Fifty-seven patients with tibial shaft fractures, treated with intram...

Adult tibial shaft fractures – different patterns, various treatments and complications

BACKGROUND Tibial Fractures constitute a large number of emergency operations in most trauma centers. There are different approaches for tibial fractures. To our knowledge, there is insufficient evidence to consider post-operative complications in relation to both surgical methods and the types of fractures. Our purpose is to report our experience regarding the efficacy and complications associ...
