Plating and Nailing of Bones

Plating and nailing are surgical techniques used in orthopedics for the fixation and stabilization of broken or fractured bones. Plating involves the use of metal plates and screws applied to the surface of the bone to hold it in place during the healing process. These plates are strategically positioned to align the fractured segments and provide stability.

On the other hand, nailing, also known as intramedullary nailing, involves the insertion of a metal rod (nail) into the hollow center (medullary canal) of the bone. This method is commonly used for long bones like the femur or tibia. The nail helps maintain alignment and supports the bone’s weight-bearing capacity while promoting natural healing.

Dr. Pratik Dhabalia, a distinguished orthopedic surgeon, excels in the art and science of plating and nailing of bones. With a profound understanding of musculoskeletal health, Dr. Dhabalia employs these surgical techniques to fixate and stabilize fractured bones, promoting optimal healing and functional recovery.

In plating procedures, Dr. Dhabalia strategically positions metal plates and screws onto the bone’s surface, providing robust stability to fractured segments. His meticulous approach ensures precise alignment, fostering an environment conducive to efficient healing.

Dr. Pratik Dhabalia expertly inserts metal rods into the marrow cavity of long bones. This technique, particularly useful for femoral and tibial fractures, supports the bone’s weight-bearing capacity and facilitates a natural healing process.
