  • Title: Transitioning to an Intramedullary Lengthening and Compression Nail.
    Author: Fragomen AT.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 2017 Jun; 31 Suppl 2(6 Suppl):S7-S13. PubMed ID: 28486284.
    Abstract:
    The magnetic intramedullary lengthening nail is an innovative technology that allows for creative ways to treat difficult problems. The lengthening option has revolutionized femur fracture management with bone loss and malunion therapy. The compression version of this nail has provided a gradual method to compress nonunions and difficult fractures that may obviate the need for many current uses of external fixation. Three cases are presented in this manuscript demonstrating a new paradigm in the management of bone loss/shortening of the tibia and femur, and recalcitrant nonunions.
