"Bio-logical" Carbon Fiber Intramedullary Nail Biomechanical Test and Preliminary Clinical Results

NCT01815658 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2013-03-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to present a novel Intramedullary Nail (IMN) made of CFR - PEED composite, that is biomechanically tailored to closely match cortical bone. This IMN should promote fracture healing and prevent stress shielding osteopenia.

Case records of patients with humurus shaft fracture will be retrospectively reviewed to determine whether the implant promotes bone healing.
