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 کاملThe Fixion nailing system for stabilising diaphyseal fractures of the humerus: a two-year clinical experience.
Previous studies have shown that the expandable nail system (Fixion) can provide rapid stabilisation of long bone fractures with reduced operative time and low complication rates. Patients with humeral shaft fracture were treated consecutively over a two-year period in our institution with the Fixion nail. Nineteen Fixion nailings were performed in 16 patients over a 2 year period. All fracture...
متن کاملTreatment of acute tibial shaft fractures with an expandable nailing system: a systematic review of the literature.
Locked Intramedullary Nailing is an established method of treatment for tibial shaft fractures. Locking of tibial nails is however not without its drawbacks. Locking is time consuming, and is associated with a noteworthy complication rate. The Fixion IM nailing system is an expandable nail designed to eliminate some of these drawbacks. We have performed a systematic review of the literature to ...
متن کاملThe fixion proximal femur nailing system: biomechanical properties of the nail and a cadaveric study.
The treatment of choice for early mobilization of hip fracture is surgery, which traditionally employs side plates and screws or intramedullary nails. We examined the biomechanical properties of a new proximal femoral nail system. The new expandable Fixion proximal femur nailing (PFN) system, made of stainless-steel alloy, consists of a nail, a peg and an anti-rotation pin. Upon positioning, th...
متن کاملFixion nails for humeral fractures.
Humeral fractures in the setting of multi-trauma are usually managed with internal fixation. We prospectively followed nine patients treated with an expandable nail (Fixion, DiscoTech, Medical Technologies, Herzliya, Israel), until union. Internal fixation rapidly stabilises the injured limb, and the lack of distal cross-bolting in this device markedly reduced our operative time. There were no ...
