Tibial interlocking intramedullary nail II,  for Simple and Complex Fractures

The tibial interlocking intramedullary nail is an orthopedic implant used in the treatment of tibial fractures. Intramedullary nailing is a surgical technique where a metal rod (nail) is inserted into the medullary canal of a long bone, such as the tibia. The tibial interlocking intramedullary nail is designed with features that allow it to be securely fixed within the tibia, providing stability and promoting fracture healing. 

Here is the information:

Design and Composition:
The nail is made of titanium, chosen for their strength and biocompatibility. It is designed to be inserted into the intramedullary canal of the tibia.

Locking Mechanism:
Interlocking intramedullary nails often have a locking mechanism, which involves screws that can be inserted through the nail to engage with the bone, preventing rotation and axial movement.

Surgical Technique:
The surgery involves inserting the nail into the tibial canal through a relatively small incision. The interlocking screws are then placed through the nail to provide stability at the fracture site.

Indications:
Tibial interlocking intramedullary nails are used for the treatment of tibial shaft fractures. They may be employed in both simple and complex fractures, providing stable fixation.

Advantages:
Intramedullary nailing can allow for earlier weight-bearing compared to some other forms of fracture fixation. The interlocking mechanism helps in preventing rotational instability.

Recovery:
Patients undergoing this procedure typically undergo physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the affected limb.

Indications: 

The tibial interlocking intramedullary Nail is indicated for fractures in the tibial shaft as well as for metaphyseal and certain intra-articular fractures of the tibial head and the pilon tibiale:
– 41-A2/A3
– All shaft fractures
– 43-A1/A2/A3
– Combinations of these fractures

Contraindications
No specific contraindications.
 

Note: The use of a cannulated Tibial interlocking intramedullary Nail with a large diameter offering more stability associated with the reamed technique is generally recommended for pseudarthroses, tumours, mal-unions and non-unions.
