elastic stable intramedullary nailing
Elastic stable intramedullary nailing is an innovative orthopedic technique that provides a less invasive method for treating fractures. The main functions of this technique include stabilizing fractures, preserving bone length, and maintaining alignment. Technological features of elastic stable intramedullary nailing systems include the use of flexible nails that can bend and conform to the shape of the medullary cavity, reducing damage to the surrounding bone and growth plates. This is particularly beneficial in pediatric patients. Furthermore, the system's design promotes natural bone healing while allowing for early weight-bearing and joint movement. Applications of elastic stable intramedullary nailing range from simple long bone fractures to complex injuries requiring surgical intervention.
