Peritrochanteric Nail (Intra medulary Hip Screw)

The Peritrochanteric Nail System provides four lag screw options and a range of nail lengths—for optimal flexibility of technique. The System is indica

ted for intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, combination intertrochanteric/ subtrochanteric and pathological fractures. It is also indicated for revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed.

 
Features:

  • The unique 4 lag screws (solid, or telescoping) offering various options of head rotation control, fracture collapse, atraumatic soft tissue sleeve
     
  • The lag screws has a “lip” which rests again the lateral cortex to prevent the occurrence of  the "Z Effect".
     
  • The pre-assembled setscrew in the nail helps to shortens the operative time, and eliminate the risk of loosing the setscrew in soft tissue
     
  • The small 15.9mm proximal diameter of the nail lessens the bone removal from the greater trochanter
     
  • The PTN Nail has an anatomical design with a 1.8m A/P radius of curvature, and a 9degree anteversion
     
  • The 6 degree proximal bend is the nail insertion
     
  • The PTN nail is made of Titanium alloy Strength, flexibility and biocompatibility
     
  • The instrumentation comprise of a light and intuitive radioluscent targeting arm, and easy to use colour coded instruments.
