interlocking nails

Interlocking nails are a type of orthopedic implant used to stabilize and support broken bones, particularly in the long bones of the legs, such as the femur or tibia. They are inserted into the bone through small surgical incisions and feature a locking mechanism that secures the nail to the bone at various points. This creates a strong framework that allows for proper healing while enabling the patient to regain mobility more quickly. Interlocking nails are particularly beneficial for complex fractures or those in patients with high activity levels.
