Pilot study of micromotion nailing for mechanical stimulation of tibial fracture healing

Pilot study of micromotion nailing for mechanical stimulation of tibial fracture healing

Aims: The study objective was to prospectively assess clinical outcomes for a pilot cohort of tibial shaft fractures treated with a new tibial nailing system that produces controlled axial interfragmentary micromotion. The hypothesis was that axial micromotion enhances fracture healing compared to s...
