In the past animal and human studies have demonstrated the benefit of controlled interfragmentary motion on fracture healing. One such study recently published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research highlighted a novel intramedullary nail capable of controlled axial interfragmentary motion which may potentially enhance fracture healing.
The authors from the Department of Surgery, Creighton University School of Medicine, Phoenix, Arizona, USA quantified interfragmentary motion and load transfer in tibial fractures fixed using a novel intramedullary nail (IMN) that allows controlled axial motion.
