Commonly Asked Questions on the Practice of Intramedullary Nailing
Abstract
Intramedullary Nailing (IMN) of the extremities has
taken many twists and turns in its odyssey to its current
status as the gold standard in the management of long
bone fractures. Here in East Africa, we are a long way off
the pace of the Western World and have our peculiar
circumstances and practice, and our own questions
regarding any surgery including IM nailing. There have
been many questions regarding the history, concepts,
applications of and recent developments in the field
of IMN, and it is the purpose of this article to elucidate
some of the gray areas.
