Being a living tissue, a damaged bone usually heals by itself. The broken bone must, however, be kept in the appropriate position. To hold the shattered bone in place and put it in the proper position, orthopedic implants such as nails are employed.
Nails are the implants used in the fixation of fractures in long bones. These metal rods serve as an immobilization tool to hold the ends of the broken bone when they are put into the medullary canal. To meet various needs, many nail types have been created.
The intramedullary nail system is a widely used orthopedic implant for various indications of the treatment of fractures. Zealmax Ortho has a wide range of locking nails.
