Intramedullary Nailing

Intramedullary nailing is a surgical technique used to treat broken bones, particularly in long bones like the femur or tibia. It involves inserting a metal rod, called a nail, into the central canal of the bone. This rod stabilizes the fracture, allowing the bone to heal properly while keeping it aligned. The procedure can be done through small incisions, minimizing tissue damage and speeding up recovery compared to traditional methods. Intramedullary nailing is considered effective for many fracture types, providing strong support and facilitating early movement and rehabilitation.
