Hyper Interlocking Nail for Tibial Bone
The Hyper Tibial Nail is indicated for
- – Tibia shaft fractures
- – Proximal Tibia fractures [41-A2/A3]
- – Distal Tibia fractures [43-A1/A2/A3]
- – Segmental comminuted fractures of tibia and Combinations of these fractures in the same tibia
- – In certain fractures of articular injuries with metaphyseal comminution or with extension to diaphysis (41-C, 43-C), the Hyper Tibial Nail may be used in combination with other fixation modalities to suitably stabilise the reduced articular surface injury. The emphasis in these articular injuries is restoration of the articular surface, and the nail then addresses the need for intramedullary stabilisation of the metaphyseal / diaphyseal injury, as planned by the surgeon
- – Impending pathologic fractures of shaft tibia
- – Use of a cannulated Hyper Tibial Nail with a large diameter offering more stability associated with the reamed technique is generally recommended for pseudarthrosis, mal-unions and non-unions
Multiple interlock options for optimal purchase in tibial fractures with short proximal or short distal fragments
Proximal Interlock Options
- – Two medio-lateral (ML) locking options – One in static mode and one Dynamic locking option
- – Two oblique hole options, increase the stability of the proximal fragment
Distal interlock Options
- – Two medio-lateral (ML) locking options, the most distal interlock option is within the most distal 1 cm of the nail
- – One Antero-Posterior option
End cap prevents in-growth of tissue and facilitates easier nail extraction
- – 0 mm end cap sits flush with nail
- – 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm end caps extend nail height if indicated
- – Anatomic bend in the nail for easy insertion
- – Cannulated nails 8 mm to 11 mm for reamed or unreamed techniques, enabling nail insertion over the guide wire
