Tibial intramedullary nail

Unlike traditional plates placed externally on bones, intramedullary nails serve as an “internal support” positioned along the bone's mechanical axis. This centralized fixation method minimizes the lever arm, providing exceptional resistance to bending and rotation. It allows patients to initiate functional exercises and partial weight-bearing early on, significantly accelerating recovery. Additionally, the procedure typically employs minimally invasive techniques, with insertion through small incisions distant from the fracture site. This approach maximally preserves blood supply and soft tissue integrity around the fracture, creating an optimal biological environment for bone healing. Consequently, the risk of infection and nonunion is significantly reduced.

Tibial intramedullary nail

1,Cannulated intramedullary nail adopts the design of 10° angle of proximal abductionand 3° angle of distal abduction to help approach nail more smoothly.

2,Proximal anterior cutting treatment, reduces stimulation of tibia ligaments.

3,Lock holes on all four planes, providing a variety of locking methods.

4,Distal special torx hole, easy to insert instrument.

Instrument features

1,Mechanized distal connection eliminates the need for X-rays without compromising the accuracy of the connection.

2,The proximal aiming arm marks different holes in different colors, and the proximal stitching can be completed without additional device.

3,The distal locator can achieve distal sight without X-ray cooperation.

4,Guide sleeve thread design prevents intraoperative shedding.

Conclusion

The intramedullary nail for the tibia has become the preferred and benchmark technique for treating tibial shaft fractures due to its outstanding features of central fixation, minimally invasive implantation, and enabling early weight-bearing. Its core technology lies in precise medullary cavity preparation and accurate distal locking. It successfully integrates mechanical robustness with biological protection.
