intramedulary bone nails

[edit]
"ORIF techniques are often used in cases involving serious fractures such as comminuted or displaced fractures, intramedulary bone nails (femur, tibia, humerus)."

This doesn't make sense grammatically. To what does the appositive at the end refer? Why are femur, tibia, and humerus listed? DAVilla (talk) 13:59, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty thin article

[edit]

Orthopedic surgery is not my thing, but this article has a rather hollow ring to it. Barely more than a stub, imo. It needs a history section, as well as some explanation as to why fixation is often preferred today, over simple casting, for many fractures. Money? Lawsuits? Healing time? Compare this "article" to other orthopedic surgery articles to note what might need filling in.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:58, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
