Tibial interlocking intramedullary nail I, 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 Nailing System is indicated for:

• Open or closed shaft fractures with a very proximal and very distal extent in which locking screw fixation can be obtained

• Multi-fragment fractures

• Segmental fractures

• Proximal or distal non-unions

• Proximal or distal mal-unions

• Pseudarthrosis

• Corrective osteotomies

• Pathologic and impending pathologic fractures

• Tumor resections

• Comminuted fractures with or without bone loss

• Primary ankle arthrodesis.
