They have the purpose of aligning and stabilizing the fractures in the tibia, facilitating the consolidation of the fracture and accelerating the patient’s recovery.

The nails can also be used in extra-articular fractures, both in the distal and proximal region of the tibia, using specific techniques for these cases.
