Advanced Intramedullary Nailing by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

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.
When is this procedure recommended?
Long bone fractures (femur, tibia, humerus)
Displaced or unstable fractures
Fractures caused by trauma or accidents
Multiple fractures in long bones
Fractures not suitable for casting
Open fractures requiring stabilization
Pathological fractures
Fractures needing early mobilization
A detailed walkthrough of the surgical process
Clinical examination, X-rays, CT scans, and surgical planning are performed.
The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia. The surgical area is sterilized.
A small incision is made, and an entry point into the bone canal is created.
A metal nail is inserted into the medullary canal of the bone.
The fracture is aligned, and locking screws are placed to secure the nail.
Incisions are closed, and dressing is applied.
