Improving Equine Intramedullary Nail Osteosynthesis via Fracture Adjacent Polymer Reinforcement

Improving Equine Intramedullary Nail Osteosynthesis via Fracture Adjacent Polymer Reinforcement

Introduction: Osteosynthesis of the equine femur is still a challenge for veterinary medicine. Even though intramedullary fracture fixation is possible nowadays, the varying geometry of the medullary cavity along the bone axis is a critical factor. Limited contact area between implant and bone can c...
