An orthopedic surgeon takes help of several types of implants to repair a fractured bone. In fact, there are as many types of orthopedic implants as there are the types of bone injuries. A bone fracture takes several small and larger implants to stabilize and fix the injured bone and tissue area. 

Orthopedic experts can depend on the India made implants due to high quality of the devices. Most of the Indian manufacturers have state-of-the-art factories that manufacture orthopedic implants and instruments. These companies operate under quality system that comprise with several ISO quality standards. Because of the strict quality standards, Indian companies are able to export orthopedic implants to even developed countries of Europe, and to USA.

Types of implants

Here are some of the implants that India manufactures, supplies to the domestic and overseas buyers to their utmost satisfaction.

  • Interlocking nails – Interlocking nails are used mainly for fixing the fractures of long bones. These nails are inserted into the bones where they are transfixed by screws.
  • Nails, pins and wires – A surgeon keeps a broken bone in the tight position by using nails, pins and wires. These very small implants hold the fractured bone in appropriate position.
  • Small fragment safety locking implants – Small fragment safety locking implants are mainly used for treatment of osteomies, nounions and small fracture fixations. These implants are used also for fixation of long bones.
  • Large fragment safety locking implants – Large fragment safety locking implants and instruments are especially useful for fixing of fractures of long bones. These implants are also used for fixation of peri-prosthetic fractures. The surgeons also use these implants for osteonpenic bone and fixation of non-unions.
  • Cannulated screws – Small cannulated screws are used for fixation of intra articular and extra articular fractures. These implants are useful for fixation of long and small bone fractures in both pediatric and adult patients.
  • Mini fragment implants –Mini fragment systems implants and instruments are mostly used for small bones of hand and foot. These implants include screws, fragment plates and implant sets.
  • Hip prosthesis – Hip prosthesis implants are devices that the surgeons use to replace a part of the Femoral head.
  • External fixators – External fixators align and bind the fractured bone with the help of different elements such as rods, bars, clamps and fixation pins.
  • Spinal implants – Spinal implants are specially designed to meet the surgical needs of the spinal disorders.

These are only the major orthopedic implants. There is in fact a vast range of the plants for every small and larger surgery need depending on the patients’ bone injuries.
