Intramedullary Nailing
Advanced Fracture Stabilization to Restore Strength and Mobility.
At Aamer Nisar Orthopaedics & Trauma, intramedullary nailing is offered as a modern surgical solution for stabilizing long bone fractures and enabling faster functional recovery. This technique is commonly used for fractures of the femur, tibia, and humerus, especially after high-impact trauma or accidents. Patients seeking an Orthopaedic Specialist in Islamabad can expect precise surgical care focused on restoring bone alignment, stability, and long-term function.
What Intramedullary Nailing Treats
Stabilizing Long Bone Fractures from Trauma.
Intramedullary nailing is recommended for fractures of long bones that require strong internal support to heal properly. These injuries often result from road traffic accidents, falls from height, or sports trauma. Such fractures can cause severe pain, deformity, and inability to bear weight. Detailed clinical assessment and imaging help determine fracture pattern, displacement, and suitability for intramedullary fixation.
How the Procedure Works
Internal Support for Proper Bone Healing.
The procedure involves inserting a metal rod into the central canal of the fractured bone to maintain alignment and stability during healing. The nail is secured with locking screws to control rotation and length. This technique provides strong internal support while preserving surrounding soft tissues and blood supply, which promotes faster bone healing. Surgical planning is tailored to the fracture type, patient age, bone quality, and functional needs. Consulting an Orthopaedic Specialist in Islamabad ensures the most appropriate fixation strategy for safe recovery.
Rehabilitation and Functional Recovery
Early Mobilization with Structured Physiotherapy.
Postoperative care focuses on early controlled movement, gradual weight-bearing, and targeted physiotherapy to restore strength and function. Rehabilitation plans are individualized to reduce stiffness, prevent muscle wasting, and support safe return to daily activities. Close follow-up ensures proper fracture healing and long-term limb stability.
