The aim of this study is to present a novel Intramedullary Nail (IMN) made of CFR - PEED composite, that is biomechanically tailored to closely match cortical bone. This IMN should promote fracture healing and prevent stress shielding osteopenia.
Case records of patients with humurus shaft fracture will be retrospectively reviewed to determine whether the implant promotes bone healing.
