Abstract
Abstract Intramedullary nail Intramedullary nail, which is fixable by means of fixation screws, for operative treatment of fractures of long tubular bones, whereby the section of tje nail tip consists of an absorbable material.

BACKGROUNI~I OF T~E INVENTION . -- -~he present invention relates to an lntramedullary nail whl~h is ~ixable by means of locking screws for the ~ ~
operative treatment of fractures o~ lon~ tubular bones and ~i`.~ .
a device to carry out the method.
The intramedullary nail first introduce.d ~y K~ntscher in 19~0 is today one of the most widely used me~ho~s for the operative treat~ent of fractures of long tubular bones.
Some of the advantages o~er other methods are: stable fixation of the frac~ure ends due to the internal bone ;
splint; no operative opening of the fractured area, small rls~ of in~ection, sho~t lle-down period, the patient can ~ -:
get up earlier without a plaster cast and a post-treatment ls not necessary as ~Muskelatrophin - m~scular atrophy) does not occur due to the patients f~eedom of moYement.
~. . 9 .
The locking of the lntramedullary nail is neccessary for ~;~
all ~diaphysen) fractures as these remai~ unst~ble after normal intramedullar nailing, In the case of ; -~
(pseudarthrosis) ~he proximal and the distal fragments are loc~ed after the fractu~e has been located.

The problem ~ith the locking screw is that it is difficult to find the bore holes fcr the lockin~ screws in the intramedullary nail as ~he n~il can bend whilst it is being inserted 1nto the bone. An x-ray manipulator has to be used to reloca~e the bore holes in such cases. ;~
SUMM~RY OY ~HE I~VENTION
It is an ob~ect of th~ invention to.el~inate, to a great . .
extent, the disadvant~ge described above and ~o p~o~ide devices which make it easier to lock the intramedullary . ~ ~.
lo nail. Another ob~ ect o~ the lnve~tion is to mlnimise the -~:
a~ount of x-xay radiation the patient recelves, in the interest of the patient, by no longer regui~ing the x-ray:~
manipulator.
The above and other objects are accomplished accoxding to the invention by an int~amedullary nail which i9 in part made of a ~aterial which ls totally absorb~ble by the . .
body, Thls means that one does not, any longer, h~e to prebore that part of the intr~medullary nail wh~ch is absorbable. The holes are bored for the lockln~ screws : ~:
after the intramedullary n~il has been inserted into the bone. The shavings that are produced are not harmful as : ;
they can be transformed into bodily substance. As khere is no longer any need to locate the bore holes neither the x-ray manipulator or the sighting device have to be used.
,~ , '' . ~. :
.,~
' ~;
, 200~L61.
Certain fractures of the ~emur and the ti~ia require that the intramedullary nail is locked in the upper part which does not consist of absorba~le material. The loc~ln~ is not 3roblematic since the posi~ion of the prebored holes can be easily ascertained from the posi~ion o~ the intramedullar nail. .~ . :
An advantageous em~odiment of th~ invention is when ~t least one of the locking screws is ltself made of absorbable material. The locking screws used LO lock the nail tip, which consists of a~ absorbable material, should preferably also be o~ absorba~le materlal, as ln this case `
post-operative surgery does not ha~e to carried out to .
remov2 the loc~in~ screw. ~n absorbable materlal which can be used is, for example, the tried and tested polyactid.
. ~ ....
The firm joining together of the two parts of the i~tramedullar nail is, in a preferred embod~ment o~ the inve~tlon, ~arried out using a non-rust$ng cover which is pushed cver the ends to ~e ~olned and the~ clamped. It is app~opriate to make the len~th of absorbable materlal of the ~ntramadullar nail as long as the i~tended locking length. In this way a high stability a~d durability can be ~uaranteed up until the fracture has fully healed. ;

The total length of the intramedullar nail is not to be viewed critioally since the absorbable part of the nail can be lon~er than ac~ually requir&d as this does not lead to any co~plica~ions. The metallic part of the : :
intramedullar na~l on the other hand, should be kept as short as possible. After the fracture has healed only the metallic parts of the implant are removed. The absor~able part has, in the meantime, sh~nX to such an extent due to the transformation into bodily substance that the ~ :
~echanical joinin~ devioe, for example a eover, ca~ no ~
longer hold the nail and therefore only ~he metallic parts ~:~
o~ the intramedullar nail have to be removed.
As a wire carrier is used-to insert the intramedullar nail ~ .
lnto the bone the nail is bored concentrlcally throughout its whole length.
