elastic nail tibia
The elastic nail tibia represents a revolutionary advancement in orthopedic surgical treatment, specifically designed for treating pediatric tibial fractures. This innovative internal fixation device consists of flexible, titanium-alloy nails that provide stable yet dynamic support during bone healing. The system works by inserting two pre-contoured elastic nails into the medullary canal of the tibia, creating a three-point fixation that ensures optimal stability while maintaining the necessary micromotion for enhanced bone healing. The elastic properties of these nails allow for controlled movement at the fracture site, stimulating callus formation and promoting faster healing. The minimally invasive nature of this technique results in smaller incisions, reduced surgical trauma, and preservation of the periosteum and surrounding soft tissues. These nails are particularly effective in treating oblique, spiral, and some comminuted fractures in children and adolescents, offering excellent rotation control and axial stability while accommodating the natural growth of young bones.
