Computerized navigation improves accuracy and reduces radiation exposure during intramedullary nailing for diaphyseal fractures. This technique guides implant placement, screw insertion, and length measurements, enhancing surgical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Technology
  • Surgical Navigation

Background:

  • Intramedullary nailing is standard for diaphyseal fractures but involves significant radiation from fluoroscopy.
  • High radiation doses pose risks to patients and surgical teams.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the technique of navigation-based intramedullary nailing.
  • To evaluate its applications and preliminary outcomes in over 150 cases.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing fluoroscopy-based computerized navigation for intramedullary nailing.
  • Employing navigation for entry-point determination, screw placement, and length measurements.

Main Results:

  • Navigation enhances accuracy in implant and screw placement.
