AI Technical Summary
Existing intramedullary nails cannot carry anti-infective drugs, so they cannot play an anti-infective role for patients with osteomyelitis and local infection. Furthermore, once an infection occurs, the intramedullary nail needs to be removed, so it cannot play an internal fixation role.
An intramedullary nail capable of slowly releasing antibiotics is designed by creating a drug cavity inside the nail shaft and filling it with microspheres to encapsulate the antibiotics. The slow release of the antibiotics is achieved through release micropores. The microspheres are made of silica, and the intramedullary nail is made of titanium alloy.
It achieves anti-infection effects for patients with osteomyelitis and local infection, eliminates the need for quick removal of the intramedullary nail, reduces patient suffering, and is simple in structure, easy to use, and low in cost.
