IM Nail

http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/brokenbones/g/imrod.htm

Intramedullary rod or nail is used to align and stabilize fractures.

They are inserted into the marrow.

This is the marrow of the tibia or femur.

In Sac's case it would be the tibia.

IM rods are secured within the bone by screws above and below the fracture.
