The intramedullary supply to the proximal femur is now considered the standard treatment for the stabilization of per- and subtrochanteric fractures. With more than 700,000 implantations worldwide and exceptionally good clinical results, this treatment method has already proven their worth .
Knowing the success of intramedullary supply and decades of experience of the development team formed the basis for the development of the locking nail system.
The system is characterized by numerous improvements over conventional systems and combines cutting-edge design and manufacturing technology with ease of use.
To supply a comprehensive range of indications, the system offers you three options:
- Variant I corresponds most to the dynamic principle , a screw cap protects against a media- ing migration of the femoral neck screw .
- Variant II is characterized by a rotation of the fuse head and neck fragments using the AR- clips.
- Variant III finally offers the possibility of total fixation of the femoral neck screw by means of a locking screw .
- Proximal diameter of 17.5 mm for a high strength in the critical region of the proximal hole
- Self-tapping thread increases the tightness of the screw in the headspongiosa
- M / L 4 ° angle for an anatomic design
- Distal diameter of 11 mm ensured high stability and requires only little drilling of the diaphysis
- Extended range of indications 5a. static and 5b. dynamic locking option in the distal holes
- Tapered end of the nail reduces stress concentration on the medial side of bone
With regard to the individual indication in all variants distal both a static and a dynamic locking of the nail can given . There are each the CCD angle 125 ° and 130 ° and the length of S and L types to choose from : The S – Nail for the treatment of all stable fractures. The favorable overall length of 190 mm ensures good support in the diaphyseal implant even in subtrochanteric fractures. The L- nail for unstable fractures and combined . Total length from 320 mm to 420 mm
