Detaljerad beskrivning
Intramedullary nailing, a common surgical procedure to fix broken long bones, has a long history. As early as the 16th century, anthropologist Bernardino documented that local physicians in Mexico used wooden rods inserted into the bone marrow cavity to treat patients with unhealed long bone fractures. Modern metallic intramedullary nails were widely adopted after 1939, when Dr. KÜNTSCHER successfully treated femoral shaft fractures with V-shaped stainless steel nails. This technique was introduced to China in the early 1950s, and has since become the first-line treatment for fractures of the arm and leg bones, especially with the advancement of minimally invasive and biological fixation principles.
Traditional intramedullary nails rely on tight contact with the bone marrow cavity for stability. The later development of interlocking screws further improved stability, expanded clinical applications, and reduced complications. Compared with other fixation methods, intramedullary nails offer multiple advantages: they are inserted through small incisions to protect surrounding soft tissues, reduce infection risk, distribute stress evenly to avoid bone weakening, and allow early postoperative movement and weight-bearing, which speeds up recovery.
Currently, biodegradable magnesium and magnesium-based materials are a major global focus in orthopedic implant research. Magnesium is a naturally occurring metal that the body can absorb safely. It has excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties very similar to human bone, making it an ideal revolutionary implant material. Growing evidence shows that magnesium ions released during the gradual degradation of magnesium implants can actively promote new bone growth and blood vessel formation, which is highly beneficial for fracture healing.
HuaMg Perfection Med Tech (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. has developed high-purity magnesium for orthopedic fixation implants. In preclinical animal studies conducted by qualified third-party institutions, a goat tibial fracture model experiment compared the company's magnesium-titanium hybrid intramedullary nail (experimental group) with conventional titanium alloy intramedullary nails (control group). The results demonstrated that the magnesium-titanium hybrid nail significantly promoted faster and more effective fracture healing than traditional titanium alloy nails.
Based on these promising preclinical findings, this prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the magnesium-titanium hybrid intramedullary nail system for treating long bone fractures of the extremities, compared with the commercially available locked metallic intramedullary nail.

Experimentell: Magnesium-Titanium Hybrid Intramedullary Nail System
Indicated for intramedullary fixation and fracture healing promotion in humeral, femoral, and tibial diaphyseal, proximal, and distal extremity fractures during orthopedic surgery.
|
The magnesium-titanium hybrid intramedullary nail system is inserted into the medullary canal through the proximal or distal end of the bone via standard intramedullary fixation surgical procedures, achieving fixation of the fracture site through intramedullary stabilization.
This device provides load-sharing fixation for the fracture.
The titanium alloy main body of the product delivers continuous, reliable mechanical support to ensure the overall stability of fracture fixation.
The biodegradable magnesium components gradually degrade in vivo, releasing magnesium ions that participate in regulating the local bone repair microenvironment, thereby synergistically supporting the fracture healing process.
