What is Internal Fixation with Nails?

Internal fixation with nails, also known as intramedullary nailing, is a surgical procedure used to stabilize long bone fractures by inserting a metal rod (nail) into the central canal of the bone.

This technique is commonly used for fractures of long bones such as the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and humerus (upper arm bone). The nail acts as an internal support, maintaining proper alignment and stability during healing.

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced intramedullary nailing using modern implants and minimally invasive techniques to ensure precise fixation and faster recovery.

This method allows early mobilization, reduced healing time, and excellent functional outcomes compared to traditional methods.
