Intramedullary Implants

Objectives: The procedure for distal locking of intramedullary nails (IM nail) is one of the time-consuming procedures and also exposes the surgical team and patient to high levels of radiation. Many techniques and devices have been created to solve the problems. Nonetheless, conventional free-hand technique is still the most popular due to easy-to-use and no added device needed. This research aims to study the accuracy of a drill-mounted device with free-handed technique in the distal locking of IM nail procedure. Methods: This is an experimental study. The device was made from PVC pipes. In this study, IM-nail-inserted synthetic femoral bones (Synbone®) were set as in IM nail procedure. Four orthopedic surgeons were instructed and performed the distal locking procedure with free-handed technique and then with the device (totally 20 times for each technique). The radiation exposure time and operating time were recorded. Results: The drill-mounted device reduced the radiation exposure time statistically significant lower than the free-handed technique. However, there was no different in operative time between the two techniques. Screw misdirection occurred two times in free-handed technique but not found in our device-assisted group. Conclusion: In this experiment, the new-designed device can reduce the radiation exposure time in distal IM nail interlocking procedure. Nonetheless, further clinical study is required to confirm our results.

Background: Intramedullary implants have been used historically in long bone fractures with success. In recent years, a variety of intramedullary implants for the treatment of fibular fractures have been investigated. These various implants have not been assessed together in a cohesive manner. In this review, we assess implants used for intramedullary fixation of fibular fractures with respect to implant design and clinical results. Methods: A comprehensive systematic literature review for intramedullary implants in fibular fractures was performed. All publications that assessed intramedullary fibular implants were reviewed. In total, 11 different intramedullary nails were found. Clinical results obtained from these studies were reviewed. Results: The intramedullary implants used for fibular fracture fixation generally fell into one of 3 categories: an unlocked longitudinal strut, an implant roughly equivalent to a large screw, or a more traditionally locked intramedullary nail. Reported clinical results were generally good, although inconsistent outcome reporting greatly limited comparison between studies. Complication rates varied with the implants but were generally low. Conclusion: Intramedullary implants for fibular fracture stabilization have changed over the years to improve stability. Although clinical results are limited, data suggest that these implants are safe and can potentially approximate more traditional implants. Level of Evidence: Level II, systematic review.
