elastic nail humerus
The elastic nail humerus represents a revolutionary advancement in orthopedic surgery, specifically designed for treating fractures in the upper arm bone. This innovative surgical implant combines flexibility with stability, utilizing titanium or stainless steel materials that adapt to the natural movement of the arm while maintaining fracture alignment. The elastic nail's unique design allows for minimally invasive insertion through small incisions, reducing surgical trauma and promoting faster recovery. The system consists of two or more flexible nails that are inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus, creating a stable three-point fixation that effectively controls rotational, axial, and bending forces. This technique is particularly beneficial for pediatric patients and young adults, as it preserves the growth plates and surrounding soft tissues. The elastic properties of the nails allow for micro-motion at the fracture site, which stimulates callus formation and enhances bone healing. Advanced manufacturing processes ensure precise diameter consistency and optimal elasticity, while specialized instruments facilitate accurate placement and removal. The system's versatility makes it suitable for various fracture patterns, including simple transverse, short oblique, and some comminuted fractures of the humeral shaft.
