ABSTRACT

On this paper the biomechanics of the interlocking nails, the principles of protection and support, are established and the difference between a dynamic fixation and static fixation are thoroughly discussed. Indications and advantages of a non-reamed system are pointed out, and its advantages and indications are explained. A description of assorted types of interlocking nails and its indications in specific fractures: Hip and femoral supracondylar is made. Mentioned also, are the particularities these systems offer in humerus and tibial fractures.
