Forearm Locked Nail
- Reduced surgical exposure & decreased periosteal stripping.
- No need of immobilization postoperatively In locked nails Static interlocking provides rotational control & stable fixation for active exercises postoperatively.
- Possiblity to use in children with small diameter nails by making an entry point without crossing open growth plates.
- Useful in fractures near radial head as Plates placed high on dorsal surface of radius may trap posterior interosseous nerve underneath & also lack of space for application of plates.
