Hyper Distal Interlocking Nail for Femoral Bone
The Hyper Distal Interlocking Nail is indicated for the stabilization of fractures of the Distal Femur. It can also be used for diaphyseal fractures in which a retrograde approach is indicated (e.g. ipsilateral tibia and patella fractures, proximal or distal endoprosthesis, adiposities per Magna
As per AO classification, following types of fractures
- – Fractures of type 33-A1 to A3
- – Fractures of type 33-C1 to C3.1
- – Fractures of type 32-A to C
Contraindications :
Fractures of type 33-B, 33-C3.2 and 33-C3.3 Proximal femoral fractures and high subtrochanteric fracture
– Hyper Distal Femoral Nail gives us a distal locking option with one blade (45mm to 100mm, five mm variation) and one interlocking Bone Screw ⌀6.0 mm (40 to 100mm, five mm variation) used for patients with an osteoporotic bone structure and/or extensive and complex supra-condylar comminuted fracture areas. The increased purchase area of the blade provides an optimised load distribution in the condyles and improves fixation of the distal fragment thus decreasing the risk of nail protrusion into the knee joint
– Proximal locking for nails of 160 – 240 mm in length is done using two interlocking Screws, 4.9 mm which is inserted laterally
– Nails of 300 mm or more are provided with a static hole in the lateral direction, and a static hole and a dynamic locking slot in the AP direction
– The End cap for Hyper Distal Femoral Nail is available in lengths of 0 mm (seats flush with the proximal end of the nail), 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm (provide proximal extension to the nail by the nominal length mentioned) and End cap for Hyper Distal Femoral Nail with Pin 0 mm. They prevent bone ingrowth into the nail & extend the nail length if indicated
