| Summary: | a bone plate with an intramedullary rod. This biological compared to those of a plate with an intramedullary rod during simulated fracture fixation. The effects of facilitates the healing process, allowing the union of bone fixation of fractures has led to a new technique that employs fixation technique combines the advantages of a plate with for the bone segments. However the interlocked rod was able fracture site, and maintain anatomical alignment. This interlocked system was also found to be significantly interlocking the rod to the bone were also analyzed. The Internal fixation devices are utilized to increase the intramedullary rod needed to be interlocked to the bone. of normal structure and function to the injured bone. plate to fatigue failure. The research reported here analyzed respective disadvantages. The addition of an intramedullary results indicated that to reduce the strain on the plate the rod is also thought to decrease the susceptibility of the segments. The continuing search for improved internal stability of fracture segments, transfer loads across the stronger than the plate alone. This new biological fixation support for the plate, it served only as an axis of rotation technique is a definite improvement and has great clinical The goal of internal fixation procedures is the restoration The strain values on the surface of the plate alone were this biological fixation technique during torsional loading. those of an intramedullary rod, while minimizing their to decrease the strains on the plate by one third. The value. When the rod was not interlocked it provided no torsional |
