I.What is the use of titanium elastic nail?

Its main uses can be summarized as follows:

Provides stable fixation: Titanium elastic nails can tightly connect and fix the stump of the fracture together, effectively preventing the broken bone from displacing during the healing process and creating a stable mechanical environment for bone healing.

Promotes fracture healing: By reducing micro-movement at the fracture site, titanium elastic nails help restore local blood circulation, providing favorable conditions for bone cell growth and callus formation, thereby accelerating the healing process.

Limb support and auxiliary rehabilitation: In the fracture treatment of load-bearing bones (such as femur and tibia), titanium elastic nails can bear the weight of the body with the surrounding bones, so that patients can perform early and moderate functional exercises during the healing period, effectively prevent muscle atrophy and joint stiffness, and shorten the rehabilitation cycle

Reduced complications: Reliable internal fixation can significantly reduce the risk of complications such as fracture nonunion and malunion, and improve treatment effectiveness.
Good biocompatibility and durability: Medical titanium alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, low elastic modulus (close to natural bone) and excellent biocompatibility, and are not easy to cause rejection or toxic reactions after implantation in the human body, and can be safely retained for a long time.

It should be noted that although titanium nails will fall off on their own when used as stapler nails in surgeries such as circumcision, in orthopedic applications, titanium elastic nails usually do not fall off on their own as internal fixators. It needs to be removed by a doctor after the fracture has fully healed. In some cases, if the nail does not cause discomfort and is firmly fixed, long-term indwelling may also be chosen.

II.What is the elastic nail technique?

The titanium elastic nail technique, commonly referred to as the elastic intramedullary nail technique (TEN), is a minimally invasive internal fixation surgical method designed for long bone fractures in children

This technique uses a small, well-elastic, and elastic intramedullary nail made of titanium alloy as an internal fixation device

During the surgery, the doctor makes a small incision of 1-2 cm only at the distal or proximal end of the fracture site, drills through the bone cortex, and inserts an elastic nail pre-bent into a specific arc (such as a “C” shape) into the bone marrow cavity

Its core principle is to use two symmetrically inserted elastic nails to form a “double C-shaped” or “three-point support” mechanical fixation mode, which can provide anti-bending, anti-rotation, axial and lateral stability, while allowing micro-movement at the fracture end, thereby stimulating the formation of callus and promoting healing

The surrounding musculature forms a soft tissue framework that further enhances the fixation effect

Compared with traditional incision and reduction plate fixation, elastic intramedullary nail technology has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding, no damage to periosteum and epiphysis, conducive to early functional exercise, and short hospital stay, and has become one of the preferred options for the treatment of long bone fractures in children.
