Biomechanical Properties and First Clinical Results of A Newly Designed Intramedullary Fixation Device
Chapter
Abstract
Many experiments have been performed to improve the intramedullary nailing — inaugurated by KÜNTSCHER (3) and perfected by the AO (4). But among the numerous devices which have been designed, only the fluted and the interlocking nail were introduced successfully in clinical work (1,2). To enlarge the applications of intramedullary fixation in the femur with large differences in shape and solidity at different levels, a new nailing device has been developed (5).
