An intramedullary rod, also known as an intramedullary nail (IM nail) or inter-locking nail or Küntscher nail (without proximal or distal fixation), is a metal rod forced into the medullary cavity of a bone. IM nails have long been used to treat fractures of long bones of the body.
A subtrochanteric blade plate or an intramedullary rod can be used to stabilize the osteotomy site in a femoral derotation osteotomy until compete bone healing is achieved; an approach employing an intramedullary rod is much less invasive than one using a subtrochanteric blade plate.

Implant that has been used for fixation of a broken wrist. Closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) is reduction without any open surgery, followed by internal fixation. It appears to be an acceptable alternative in unstable distressed lateral condylar fractures of the humerus in children, but if fracture displacement after closed reduction exceeds 2 mm, open reduction and internal fixation ...
Intramedullary stabilization involves inserting a rod or nail into the tibial medullary canal. This offers structural support from within the affected bone, allowing for bone alignment and union. Surgeons may opt for flexible or rigid intramedullary nails depending on patient-specific factors such as age, pseudarthrosis severity and any ...

It's getting to be that time to turn our attention ahead to the 2024 NFL playoffs schedule. As of the conclusion of Week 13, two AFC teams have clinched playoff berths and all seven NFC playoff ...
This may be accomplished by internal fixation, using intramedullary rod, Kirschner wire or dynamic compression plate; or by external fixation, using a spanning external fixator, Taylor Spatial Frame or Ilizarov apparatus. [citation needed]
