putting a nail in the bone med.

[Andrew_Love]

Пожалуйста помогите перевести следующую фразу:
putting a nail in the bone
Контекст:
All right, looking at the x-rays of your daughter's thumb I see that the injury did not effect the bone but almost took off all the flesh on the front side of the thumb.
It will need stitches and to do that I would need to take her to the operating room as I need to give her full anesthesia.
The operation will require putting a nail in the bone starting from the tip front of the thumb to keep the thumb from moving.
This will help to put the flesh back securely on the bone.

заранее спасибо
