Surgeon Explains Intramedullary Nail Extraction | Dr Chris Raynor
Although surgery is a specialty that is generally associated with precision and finesse, occasionally it is necessary for orthopaedic surgeons to use brute force to get things done. Extracting and intermedullary nail is just one of those occasions.
These nails are inserted to treat fractures of diaphyseal, or long bones. they are usually hammered in to the bone, and are sized to match the diameter of the intermedullary canal of the bone. This means that the fit is quite tight and usually varies by 1 mm or less. Consequently, if they need to be extracted from the bone, then this usually requires some elbow grease, and the nails must be hammered out.
