The teaching team of this postgraduate certificate in Intramedullary Nailing has made a careful selection of the different state-of-the-art techniques for experienced professionals working in the veterinary field.  

Fracture fixation with intramedullary nails in dogs and cats began in the 1940s. Its popularity increased due to advances in anesthesia, aseptic techniques, antibiotics and the awareness on the part of veterinarians and animal owners that, in most cases treated, there was a satisfactory repair (Piermattei and Flo, 1999).  

The use of intramedullary nails is recommended for fractures in any portion of a long bone, however, its use is more appropriate in short oblique or transverse fractures of the middle third or diaphysis. 

It is a method used for internal fixation of fractures in humerus, femur, tibia and growth physis fractures of long bones in dogs and cats. Its use is limited in bones without bony protrusions or tuberosities.
