TITANIUM ELASTIC NAILING (TEN)

Titanium Elastic Nailing (TEN) is intended for fixation of diaphyseal fractures of long bones where the medullary canal is narrow or flexibility of the implant is paramount. The biomechanical principal of the Titanium elastic nailing is based on the symmetrical bracing action of two elastic nails inserted into the metaphysis, each of which bears against the inner bone at three points. The complication rates associated with Titanium elastic nailing have been reported to be minimal.
