reamed nail

A reamed nail refers to a type of medical nail used in orthopedic surgery for treating broken bones, particularly in the shin. During the procedure, a surgical instrument called a reamer enlarges the inside of the bone canal, creating a smooth, widened space. The reamed nail, which is inserted into this space, helps stabilize and support the bone as it heals. Reamed nails are often chosen because they fit more securely and promote better healing by stimulating blood flow within the bone, aiding in faster and more reliable recovery.
