intramedullary nail for the treatment of: long bone fractures
with internal axial stimulation, non-union fractures and limb
lengthening. External manipulation of the nail using an external
magnetic coil for force induction.
The invention is a major advancement over existing intramedullary
nails (IMN) and is expected to become the next generation of
IMNs. The treatment is very accurate and controllable and it is
well accepted by the patient. There is no such technology on the
market. The technology is patent protected (pending and
registration stage) all over the world.
The device enables continuous exposure of the fracture to bone
growth-stimulating forces. Thus, fracture healing is accelerated
by one third to one half of the time required today. This is
achieved without elongating the operation time or any change of
surgical technique.
The magnetic technology is well established and is headed in our
group by some of Israel's leading scientists in the field.
Limb lengthening is done in this manner using an all-internal
device avoiding the numerous complications due to the use of
external fixators.The distraction is very accurately controlled
(0.02 mm for each pulse) and can be done at hospitals, clinics
and patient's home.
