Practice of Intramedullary Locked Nails

  • 97 Accesses

Throughout history man has needed to repair broken, nonfunctional bones. As knowledge and technical skills on fracture healing increased, several noninvasive and surgical techniques were designed to support the natural process of self-repair. Rational conservative treatment was developed in the nineteenth century and surgical treatment of fractures, i.e., open reduction and fixation, has been used since World War II.
