Fatigue strength of common tibial intramedullary nail distal locking screws
BACKGROUND Premature failure of either the nail and/or locking screws with unstable fracture patterns may lead to angulation, shortening, malunion, and IM nail migration. Up to thirty percent of all unreamed nail locking screws can break after initial weight bearing is allowed at 8-10 weeks if union has not occurred. The primary problem this presents is hardware removal during revision surgery....
متن کاملFatigue behavior of Ilizarov frame versus tibial interlocking nail in a comminuted tibial fracture model: a biomechanical study
BACKGROUND Treatment options for comminuted tibial shaft fractures include plating, intramedullary nailing, and external fixation. No biomechanical comparison between an interlocking tibia nail with external fixation by an Ilizarov frame has been reported to date. In the present study, we compared the fatigue behaviour of Ilizarov frames to interlocking intramedullary nails in a comminuted tibi...

متن کاملExtraction of broken interlocking tibial nail without opening the fracture - Nail in Nail technique: A simpler and cost effective solution
The removal of the distal fragment of broken intramedullary nail often poses an important technical challenge. Many methods have been published on the removal of the distal piece of a broken distal closed section intramedullary nail that involve the use of hooks, olive wires or special instruments that are often not available to the general orthopedist working in a smaller setup. Additionally, ...
