Intraosseous osteosynthesis (sometimes called o. intraossea) is one of the orthopedic surgery techniques used for fixation and stabilization of bone fractures. This approach restores bone structure, allowing it to heal and return to normal function.
Intraosseous osteosynthesis is a procedure that uses special equipment, including screws, bolts or rods, to fix bone fragments. They are inserted directly into the bone through special holes or channels created by the surgeon. The bone fragments are then aligned and secured to provide optimal conditions for healing.
The advantages of intraosseous osteosynthesis include the possibility of precise anatomical reduction of bone fragments, minimal damage to surrounding tissues, and reduced recovery time. In addition, this type of osteosynthesis provides stability and long-term fixation, which promotes faster healing and restoration of bone function.
Intraosseous osteosynthesis can be used for various types of fractures, including fractures of the forearm, femur, tibia, clavicle and other large and small bones of the body. It may be particularly useful in cases of complex fractures where traditional fixation methods may be less effective.
Although intraosseous osteosynthesis has many advantages, it also has some limitations and potential complications. Possible complications include infection, improper healing, damage to surrounding nerves or blood vessels, and the possibility of limb length discrepancy. Therefore, the choice of osteosynthesis method should be made by a physician based on the individual characteristics of the patient and the characteristics of the fracture.
In conclusion, intraosseous osteosynthesis is an effective method for fixing fractures, which allows you to restore the anatomical structure of the bone and provide optimal conditions for its healing. It can be especially useful in complex cases of fractures, but requires skilled surgery and careful monitoring in the postoperative period. Clinicians must take individual patient factors into account when choosing the optimal approach to osteosynthesis.
