Locked nailing is gradually emerging as a treatment of choice for long bone fractures in many countries over the last few years. The surgical procedure, however, continues to pose challenges to surgeons who need to master the technique of distal locking screw placement under image intensifier control, an essential skill. Radiation exposure to orthopaedic surgeons who perform surgery every day is a matter of growing international concern. It has been documented that busy surgeons may be subjected to hazardous radiation in excess of 4000 millirems each year. The Adler EAZEE nailing system brings solutions to many of these problems. Conceived by an innovative group of French surgeons, Adler has been producing the EAZEE nailing system under a technology transfer arrangement with a French company since 1995. With an experience of more than 15,000 implanted nails, Adler has further evolved the instrumentation to address the very important considerations of user-friendliness, simplicity and robustness of the instrumentation. Biomechanical tests by the Hospital of Joint Diseases, New York which have placed this system in favourable comparison with other well-known international systems and the innovative locking options provided make this range one of Adler’s fastest growing products in recent years.
