Osteosynthesis Implants in Long Bone Fractures
Long bone fractures require strong and reliable fixation due to high mechanical stress. Osteosynthesis implants provide the necessary stability for bones such as the femur, tibia, and humerus.
Intramedullary nails are commonly used for these fractures, offering internal support without extensive exposure. Plates and screws may be used when precise alignment is needed.
Weight-bearing considerations influence implant choice. Surgeons select implants that can withstand physiological loads during recovery.
Effective fixation allows early mobilization, reducing muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.
