Abstract:

Elastic nails made of the nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (Nitinol) have been reported to control bone modeling in animal studies. However, the mechanical stability of the Nitinol nail in the fixation of long bone fractures remains unclear. This study compared mechanical stability among nails made of three materials, namely Nitinol, titanium, and stainless steel, in the fixation of long bone fractures. These three materials had identical shapes (arc length: π/2 and radius: 260 mm). A cylindrical sawbone with a 10-mm gap and fixed with two C-shaped elastic nails was used to examine the stabi

Abstract:

Tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) arthrodesis is a procedure to treat severe ankle and subtalar arthropathy by providing pain free and stable fusion using IM nails. These nails can be manufactured with multiple materials and some feature the ability to dynamize the arthrodesis construct. However, the impact of IM nail material and nail dynamization on load-sharing and in the setting of bone resorption have not been quantified. This work utilized a patient-specific finite element analysis model of TTC arthrodesis to investigate IM nails with differing material moduli and the impact of nail dynamization

Background and purpose: Intramedullary bone-lengthening nails have become increasingly popular. The 2 most used and successful nails are the FITBONE and the PRECICE nails.

IntroductionHumans Functions (locomotion, protection of organs, reproduction) require a strong support system (bones). The ‘Osteostasis’ is the ability of maintaining the bone structure, its mechanical characteristics and function. Five principles are required for an efficient bone system:Basic Requirements:1) Stability and 2) Function. Repair System (like house building in desert or sea):3) Roads (vessels), 4) Materials (calories, proteins), 5) Workers (bone cells).Analysis of bone problems through these principles bring to optimised treatments.Materials & MethodsMeasurements (>700 len

Aims Due to their radiolucency and favourable mechanical properties, carbon fibre nails may be a preferable alternative to titanium nails for oncology patients. We aim to compare the surgical characteristics and short-term results of patients who underwent intramedullary fixation with either a titanium or carbon fibre nail for pathological long-bone fracture. Methods This single tertiary-institutional, retrospectively matched case-control study included 72 patients who underwent prophylactic or therapeutic fixation for pathological fracture of the humerus, femur, or tibia with either a titaniu

Abstract Background A delayed union was defined as when the fracture fails to unite within the expected time. Delayed union becomes nonunion when the fracture healing stops (at least 6 months).

The aim of this study is to obtain union in nonunited long bones fractures fixed previously by intramedullary nails by using of augmentation plating and bone grafting to obtain the best outcome.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare connective tissue disorder known for excessive bone fragility caused by collagen mutations. The common orthopaedic problems related to bone fragility include frequent multiple bone fractures, progressive deformity of long bones leading to impaired ambulation. Surgical correction of long bone deformities in OI is conventionally done using distraction osteogenesis (illizarov fixator), elastic intramedullary nailing, rigid extramedullary fixation using plates, after osteotomy.

The article investigates cases in which a nail has been implanted in the proximal part of the femur for a short time (with the fracture still not healed), compared with cases in which the bone has already healed.
