Traditionally, distraction osteogenesis has been accomplished with an external fixator. All internal transport utilizing magnetic intramedullary nails is a newer technique for bone reconstruction. The Precice Bone Transport Nail is a new implant that allows for noninvasive transport via a magnetically driven motor. This report describes the function of the Bone Transport Nail along with the technical considerations on how to successfully manage bone defects with this new technology. Appropriate use of the nail, preoperative planning, intraoperative considerations, and postoperative management are discussed in detail. The Precice Bone Transport Nail utilizes the technology of the original Precice nail to provide an all-internal option for reconstruction of intercalary defects. This obviates the need for an additional plate with a standard Precice nail when performing bone transport and allows for a less invasive option that decreases operating room time. It provides a more cosmetic result than external fixation and avoids the risks of pin tract infection. Preoperative planning is essential to appropriate execution of the operative procedure and to perform a successful transport. A thorough understanding of the nail design and limitations are a prerequisite as this implant is significantly different from a standard intramedullary nail.
