Extra Long Implanted Intramedullary GAMMA Nail For Femoral Fracture

Product: GAMMA intramedullary interlocking nail Extra long

1. Clinical Back Ground

Gamma3 Long Nail is intended for fixation of stable and unstable femoral fractures occurring from the base of the femoral neck extending distally to a point approximately 10cm proximal to the intracondylar notch including fractures of the basilar neck, intertrochanteric fractures, peritrochanteric fractures, subtrochanteric fractures and femoral shaft fractures.

• Distal diameters 10mm, 11mm, 13mm and 15mm
• Nails available 240mm - 480mm in 20mm increments
• 1.5m and 2.0m radius of curvature nails available
• Distal targeting achieved with the Distal Targeting System

2. Application

The femoral interlocking intramedullary nail (FIIN) is classified into five types; namely normal, Grosse‐Kempf, gamma, reconstructive and supracondylar, each being applicable to different fracture locations1-5. All types of FIIN are composed of a main nail and several interlocking screws at the proximal and distal ends of the FIIN. The difference between them is in the locking style of the interlocking screws device. Each FIIN had its own guide device. Grosse‐Kempf, gamma, and reconstructive FIIN are only applicable to one side of the femur, giving rise to an increase in the cost of producing and marketing as well as inconvenience in their clinical application; so we designed a femoral compound interlocking intramedullary nail (FCIIN).
