Content
In patients who have received a joint prosthesis at the joint at the distal end of a long bone, existing intramedullary fixation devices (IMDFs), such as nails, rods, and the like can make retrograde and antegrade deployment from a distal/proximal end of the long bone challenging or not possible using conventional techniques and instrumentation. A simple, easy IMDF that facilitates retrograde/antegrade deployment from a distal/proximal end of the long bone is needed.
