A humerus intramedullary nail is a rigid rod designed to be inserted into the marrow cavity of the upper arm bone to stabilize fractures. It holds the broken bone fragments in proper alignment to support healing and may also be used when bone strength is compromised by disease.
These devices are intended for single use and are implanted surgically. They may feature locking mechanisms or additional components to secure fixation at the proximal or distal ends of the humerus, depending on the fracture pattern and clinical need.
