The PRECICE magnetic IM compression nail for long bone nonunions: a preliminary report.
Austin T FragomenDavid WellmanS Robert RozbruchPublished in: Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery (2019)
The IM compression nail was successful at applying compression, preventing deformity, and obtaining union in all diaphyseal and in distal tibia metaphyseal nonunions. Signs of active compression are bending of the locking bolts and failure of the nail to shorten. Proximal tibia metaphyseal nonunion may not be suited for this treatment.
