Concepts in Intramedullary Nailing - David Seligson - książka wyd. 1985

Opis

Intramedullary nailing is a surgical technique that stabilizes broken long bones by inserting a metal rod (nail) into the bone's central marrow cavity. Key concepts include Reduction to restore the bone's alignment, reaming the marrow cavity to fit the nail, and nail insertion itself, which can be achieved from different points (e.g., piriformis fossa). Nails provide axial and rotational stability to the fracture, enabling the bone to bear weight and heal, and can be "locked" with screws to prevent shortening.
