Humeral interlocking intramedullary nail

The interlocking intramedullary nail is a surgical implant used in orthopedic procedures, particularly for the treatment of fractures of long bones like the humerus (arm bone). Interlocking nails are inserted into the medullary canal (the central cavity) of the bone and are designed to provide stability and support during the healing process. 

Here is the information of humeral interlocking intramedullary nails:

1. Material: These nails are made of titanium, known for their strength and biocompatibility.

2. Design: The design of the interlocking nail is tailored to the anatomy of the humerus. It features in interlocking screw holes, allowing screws to be placed through the nail and into the bone to achieve stability. The design also considers the curvature and dimensions of the humeral shaft.

3. Surgical Technique: The nail is inserted into the intramedullary canal of the humerus, through a small incision. Interlocking screws are then inserted through the nail to secure it to the bone. This intramedullary fixation provides stability to the fractured bone and allows for early mobilization.

4. Indications: Humeral interlocking intramedullary nails are used for the treatment of various humeral fractures, including fractures of the shaft of the humerus. They are especially useful in cases where conservative treatments like casting may not provide sufficient stability.

5. Advantages: The use of interlocking intramedullary nails has advantages such as preserving the blood supply to the bone, minimizing soft tissue disruption, and allowing for early weight-bearing and range of motion.

6. Postoperative Care: After surgery, patients typically undergo rehabilitation to regain strength and mobility. The specific rehabilitation plan depends on the nature of the fracture and the surgeon's recommendations.

Indications: 

The humeral interlocking nail system is indicated for Two-part fractures of the humerus, Three-part fractures of the humerus, Midshaft Diaphyseal Fracture(s) and Segmental Humerus Fracture(s).
