Arthrodesis intramedullary nails with magnetic distraction are surgical implants designed to stabilize and fuse joints in long bones, such as the tibia or ankle. These devices use telescoping rods with embedded magnets to gradually lengthen or adjust the bone alignment under magnetic control, aiding in trauma repair or reconstructive procedures like limb lengthening or joint fusion.
These devices are typically single-use, made from materials like metal or carbon fiber, and require external magnetic control for adjustments. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical purpose and risk profile, with oversight ensuring safety and performance in orthopedic applications.
