intramedullary interlocking nail tibia
The intramedullary interlocking nail tibia is a revolutionary orthopedic implant designed to stabilize fractures of the tibia, or shin bone. Its main functions include maintaining the alignment of the bone, supporting the weight of the body, and allowing for the earlier onset of weight-bearing activities post-surgery. Technological features of this nail include a hollow, cylindrical design with locking screws that pass through the nail and into the bone on each side of the fracture, ensuring stability. It is made from high-grade medical stainless steel or titanium, which are materials that can withstand the forces exerted on the tibia. This device is commonly used in the surgical treatment of tibial shaft fractures and offers a less invasive alternative to traditional external fixation methods. The intramedullary nail is inserted into the medullary canal of the tibia through a small incision, minimizing soft tissue damage and reducing the risk of infection.
