Dr. Brian Schaefer of Orthopaedic Associates in Cape Girardeau relates and how he has embraced Wright’s MICRONAIL® Fixation system for many broken wrists, allowing patients to heal faster and have a greater range of motion. The MICRONAIL® implant uses an internal fixation technique and results in little more than a removable splint for the patient to wear after the surgery. Schaefer sees many benefits to the new procedure that outweigh those of traditional bone-setting techniques like casts.
