Intramedullary nail is a type of surgical implant used in orthopedic surgeries to fix bone fractures, particularly long bone fractures. It is mainly used to repair fractures of long bones such as the femur, tibia, and fibula, especially those complex fractures that are difficult to recover with traditional external fixation or conservative treatment. The nail provides internal stabilization and support to the fractured bone, allowing it to heal in the proper position. Intramedullary nails are commonly used in the treatment of femur and tibia fractures.
