There are many biomechanical advantages in using an intramedullary implant to fix a long bone fracture: placing a nail in the medullary canal provides a strong fixation with the lowest “shield effect” on the bone. From a mechanical point of view, this is explained by the nail being within the neutral bone’s axis, acting like a central tutor which allows an optimal share of the load along the bone, preserving the obtained reduction and allowing early function. With the new developments in closed tecniques, it’s no necessary to open the fracture site, thus respecting the biology of fracture healing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
