Fracture Fixation with NET Interlocking Nails

Interlocking Nail that is used to fix the fractures of long bones is an intramedullary nail secured by transverse screws through the proximal and distal fragments. Interlocking Nails are actually a refinement of the original Kuntscher Nail.

Multifix/XL Nails, manufactured and supplied by Narang Medical Limited, are designed to fit in Intramedullary Canal. Used in fixation of Proximal, Shaft and Distal fractures of Femur and Tibia, this system is the constitution of Multifix / XL Tibial Cannulated and Unreamed Nails & Multifix/XL Femoral Cannualted and Unreamed Nails.

Universal Nails are used in Femoral and Tibial fractures the same nail can be used for both right and left legs. Proximal Femoral Nails are intramedullary implants and used to treat unstable Pertrochanteric and Intertrochanteric Femoral fractures. The series include GAMM Nails, PFN and RECON Nails. Intramedullary Supracondylar Nails are used in fixation of comminuted fractures of the Supracondylar regions of the Femur while Humeral Nails Cannulated/Unreamed are used for the fixation of Diaphyseal Shaft & Comminuted Shaft fractures. These are also used in fixation of short distal or proximal fragments.

Narang Medical Introduces NET Multifix Nails

Narang Medical Limited has introduced Multifix Nails That Can be Used for Both Right and Left Legs. Humans commonly suffer from physical fractures, i.e., breaks of long bones such as the femur, tibia or humerus. Treatment of these fractures often requires surgery to artificially provide support, which is normally provided by an unbroken bone. In order to provide the needed support, metal plates are commonly placed along the exterior of a fractured bone and connected by various means, such as screws which connect with the bone cortical tissue. Other approach include interlocking nail and screw combination. These methods comprise placing a metal nail within the fractured bone medullary canal and locking it in place with transverse pins or screws which also connect with bone cortical tissue. These nails are called Interlocking nails.

NET MULTI-FIX Universal Femoral/Tibial Interlocking Nails are very popular amongst Orthopaedic Surgeons. Same nail can be used for Right and Left leg, therefore less stock is needed. This rigid nail has multiple locking options. Proximal end has - Oblique locking with 6mm locking bolt from Greater to Lesser Trocanter. Optionally a second hole 4.5mm dynamic locking, and third 4.5mm round hole for static locking option. Two distal Lateral to Medial holes and one Anterior to Posterior hole ensure safe fixation.

Interlocking nails without dynamic holes are commonly used while treating fractures of the femoral and tibial shafts, but lacks ability to provide the important contact-compression at the fracture. Thus it take more time in healing of bone. Whereas, MULTIFIX nails proved to have excellently effective not only in treating acute fractures but also in many types of revision surgeries like corrective Osteotomy, stabilization after Pseudarthrosis resection and Arthrodesis.

Orthopedic Implants are medical devices used to replace fixation of bone or to replace injured or troubled joints. Bone is the basic element of human body, which provides definite shape imparts strength & firmness and assists in movement.
