Endosteum and bone marrow thermal necrosis caused by reaming during tibial intramedullary nail insertion, and unskilled operation of soft tissue penestration by reamer resulted in chronic osteomyelitis and soft tissue defect. So, several times of free flaps were done but the result was unsuccessful. At last, the authors performed radical necrotic b...

Introduction: A new intramedullary nail (IMN) (Expert Nail) has recently been introduced with a design including an angular stable locking system (ASLS), which provides a fixed-angle interlocking construct. The study objective is to provide biomechanical assessment of IMN fixation of a distal tibia fracture using conventional versus ASLS interlocki...
