Intramedullary Nail Cases FAQ

  • Q How does CZMEDITECH ensure the quality and reliability of its intramedullary nail systems?

    A All CZMEDITECH intramedullary nails are manufactured under strict ISO 13485 and CE quality standards. Each system undergoes fatigue and biomechanical testing to ensure consistent strength, easy insertion, and stable fixation in clinical applications worldwide.

  • Q What imaging and tools are used during intramedullary nail surgery?

    A Surgeons use fluoroscopy (C-arm X-ray) to guide nail insertion and alignment. Specialized instruments — reamers, targeting devices, and locking screws — ensure precision during the procedure. CZMEDITECH provides a full instrument set compatible with its nail systems.

  • Q How does intramedullary nailing compare to plate fixation?

    A Compared to plates, intramedullary nailing offers stronger axial load-sharing and smaller incisions. It is particularly suitable for diaphyseal fractures. Plate fixation may be preferred for periarticular or comminuted fractures. Many surgeons use both methods depending on fracture pattern and bone quality.

  • Q What are the possible complications of intramedullary nailing?

    A Potential complications include infection, delayed union, nonunion, implant breakage, or malalignment. These risks are minimized through precise surgical technique and the use of high-quality implants such as CZMEDITECH’s intramedullary nail systems.

  • Q Can intramedullary nails be removed after bone healing?

    A Yes. Once the bone has completely healed and the fracture is consolidated, the nail can be removed if necessary—usually after 12 to 18 months. Removal depends on patient symptoms, implant type, and surgeon recommendation.

  • Q How long does recovery take after intramedullary nail surgery?

    A Recovery depends on the fracture type and patient condition. Most patients can begin partial weight-bearing within a few weeks and achieve full bone union within 3–6 months. Rehabilitation and proper physiotherapy are critical to regain strength and mobility.

  • Q What materials are used to manufacture intramedullary nails?

    A Most intramedullary nails are made from titanium alloys or stainless steel, chosen for their biocompatibility and mechanical strength. CZMEDITECH uses medical-grade titanium with optimized surface treatment for improved corrosion resistance and bone integration.

  • Q What are the advantages of intramedullary nail fixation?

    A

    Key benefits include smaller incisions, stable fixation under load, reduced soft tissue damage, and earlier weight-bearing. CZMEDITECH nails are CE- and ISO-certified, ensuring safe and durable fixation across various trauma applications.

  • Q When is intramedullary nailing used in orthopedic surgery?

    A Intramedullary nailing is commonly used for fractures of the femur, tibia, and humerus — especially for shaft fractures, multiple trauma injuries, and pathological fractures. It offers excellent biomechanical stability and shorter recovery times compared to external fixation or plating.

  • Q What is an intramedullary nail and how does it work?

    A An intramedullary nail is a metal rod inserted into the medullary cavity of long bones (such as the femur, tibia, or humerus) to stabilize fractures. It works as an internal splint, sharing the load along the bone axis and allowing early mobilization. CZMEDITECH intramedullary nail systems are designed for high strength, precise fit, and minimal invasion.
