Abstract Introduction: Osteosynthesis of the equine femur is still a challenge for veterinary medicine. Even though intramedullary fracture fixation possible nowadays, varying geometry medullary cavity along bone axis critical factor. Limited contact area between implant and can cause insufficient primary stability. In this study, it was investigated whether osteosynthesis stability be improved...

Introduction: Distal tibia fracture tends to angulate while using a standard intramedullary interlocking nail. By single Poller screw, the medullary cavity's functional diameter is reduced. This leads angulation correction and three-point fixations, which improve mechanical stability of nail-bone construct.
 Aims: To assess radiological results nail poller screw in management adult distal ...

BACKGROUND The radius of curvature (ROC) misfit of cephalomedullary nails during anterograde nailing can lead to complications such as distal anterior cortical encroachment. This study quantified the anatomical fit of a new nail with 1.0-m ROC (TFN-ADVANCED(™) Proximal Femoral Nailing System [TFNA]) compared with a nail with 1.5-m ROC (Gamma3 Long Nail R1.5 [Gamma3]). METHODS We generated 63 ...

Introduction: Fracture of the tibial and femoral diaphysis constitutes approximately 7% of fractures occurring in children1. Such fractures are commonly repaired by intra-medullary nailing. While removal of implanted nails is often routinely performed after fracture healing it is not always without complication, often due to difficulty or inability to remove the nail.Currently intra-medullary n...

Study Design: Prospective consecutive series. Objective: To Evaluate the role of exchange nailing in non union of fractures of long bones of lower limb. Summary of Background data: Exchange Nailing which includes removal of current intramedullary nail, reaming of medullary canal and placement of larger diameter nail shows increased union rate as seen in various studies. Methods: A Prospective s...

This article describes FRACAS, a computer-integrated orthopedic system for assisting surgeons in performing closed medullary nailing of long bone fractures. FRACAS's goal is to reduce the surgeon's cumulative exposure to radiation and surgical complications associated with alignment and positioning errors of bone fragments, nail insertion, and distal screw locking. It replaces uncorrelated, sta...

Intramedullary nailing is treatment of choice for diaphyseal fractures tibia in adults. Infrapatellar medullary usually done tibial but metaphyseal reduction become a challenge due to anterior deformity pull patellar tendon. Suprapatellar becoming popular and route because it semiextended position which helps good fixation. But the major disadvantage this approach specific instrument sets impla...

It is known fact that proximal and distal fractures of tibia tend to angulate into varus when treated with intramedullary nails or functional braces. Proximal fractures of tibia tend to angulate into anterior bowing when fixed with nail when fibula is intact. Intramedullary nailing for metaphyseal tibial fractures with short proximal and distal fragment is associated with frontal and sagittal p...

Treatment outcomes were compared in two groups of children with femoral diaphyseal fractures which were treated with external fixation (20 fractures) or flexible intramedullary nailing (20 fractures). These 40 children were between 5.4 to 14.1 years of age. The duration of the operation averaged 52 minutes for the external fixator compared with 70 minutes for the flexible nail group. The time t...
