It was designed to exert a dynamic force of its own to resist this deforming force. The design of the pin calls for introduction from the side of the bone, rarely from the end. The sled runner point drives through cancellous bone, deflects from the cortex, drives and guides easily, yet effectively locks the distal fragment against rotation. The Rush Pin must not impact the marrow cavity, but must lock the bone by points of pressure. The pin must be manufactured from a special metal with all characteristics required for proper resilience.
Shorter hospital stays.
Recovery time lessened. Less risk of infection. Low rate of non-union.
