Intertan is a new generation Intramedullary Nail designed specifically for proximal femoral fractures.
The unique combined Interlocking Nail not only avoids the "Z- effect" produced by traditional reconstruction nails, but also provides a controllable sliding compression effect.This interlocking nail is divided into standard type and lengthened type, and provides single and double lag nail options.
Indications
1.femoral neck fracture
2.intertrochanteric fracture
3.high subtrochanteric fracture
4.inverse trochanteric fracture
5.non-union or poor union of fracture,multiple injuries, etc.
6.Long main nail can further expand the range of indications to subtrochanteric, bone shaft, etc.
Characteristics and Advantages
1.5°valgus angle of main nail proximal provides a minimally invasive approach to the apex of the greater trochanter.
2.Trapezoidal Section Design of main nail proximal enhances the stability of proximal femur and facilitates early weight-bearing.
3.Distal unique hairpin bifurcation design to reduce stress concentration and avoid distal periprosthetic fractures.
4.The distal screw hole can be locked dynamically or statically,use 5.0mm hex can hold interlocking screws.
5.Special design of Combined Interlocking nail:Provides good stability and anti-rotation ability,and remarkable compression effect in the process of screwing pressure screw.
6.Cannulated stabilizing screw implanted in advance,can be tightened if necessary to eliminate excessive sliding after operation.
7.The pre-installed end cap allows for a fixed Angle,reducing intraoperative difficulty and ensuring dynamic fracture site.
8.Flexibility of the distal staple reduces the stress shielding of the distal femur to reduce potential distal femur fracture.
9.Smaller proximal diameter is beneficial to the preservation of the medial arm muscle tendon and the lateral wall of greater trochanter.
The intertan Orthopedic Interlocking Nails has been widely used worldwide,with clinical data from thousands of patients demonstrating that it is a safe and effective internal fixation device for femoral neck fractures that can help patients regain mobility earlier and improve quality of life.
