A doctor from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) has developed a new patented pin for skeleton traction, aimed at providing accident victims with long-bone fractures a less painful recovery. Dr. Vishal Kumar, an associate professor in the Department of Orthopaedics, has introduced a groundbreaking pin designed to stabilize fractured bones, offering patients relief from discomfort and aiding in the healing process. The Steinmann Pin, long employed in treating bone fractures, is hampered by drawbacks such as its lengthy nature, challenging cutting process, and occasional risk of harm. Furthermore, its reusable nature heightens the potential for infection. Dr. Kumar's revolutionary advancement in orthopaedic traction has sparked interest for its delicate approach to bone healing through gentle traction, offering a safer and more effective means of supporting the recovery process. Describing the innovation, it resembles a three-part screw-like instrument, with a sharp tip that effortlessly penetrates the bone and maintains its position securely. This clever design reduces the risk of infection, as the exposed part remains outside the bone upon removal. The major breakthrough came with eliminating the need to cut the pin, resulting in reduced discomfort for patients and faster recovery times. Additionally, after aiding in bone healing, the front portion can be unscrewed and disposed of separately, prioritizing safety for both patients and healthcare personnel. Kumar noted that he dedicated 18 years to developing this technology with the goal of revolutionizing treatment for accident patients with multiple fractures. As a specialist in managing major fractures of long bones, Kumar confronts the daunting task of accurately realigning them. "The pin has not only received approval from the Government of India but has also been granted a patent. Once it receives clearance from the ethics committee at PGIMER, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we facilitate bone healing, streamlining the entire process and enhancing safety for all involved."
