interlocking nail of tibia
The interlocking nail of the tibia is a revolutionary orthopedic implant designed to stabilize fractures of the tibial shaft. Its main functions include maintaining the alignment of the bone, supporting the weight of the body, and facilitating bone healing. Technological features of this implant include a hollow, cylindrical design with threads on the outer surface, allowing for secure fixation. The interlocking nail also features proximal and distal locking screws that provide additional stability. This implant is commonly used in the treatment of complex tibial fractures, offering a minimally invasive option that promotes faster recovery and reduces the risk of complications.
