Combines the principles of a compression hip screw with an Intramedullary nail
AFFIXUS® Hip Fracture Nail System
Simple. Anatomic. Versatile.
The AFFIXUS® Hip Fracture Nail System designed to provide an efficient, practical solution for treating a wide range of proximal femoral fractures.
Anatomic
- Optimal nail geometry with unique distal bend aid in placement of the implant within the femoral head and intramedullary canal.
Simple
- Procedurally oriented tray layout with streamlined and color-coded instruments to aid in procedural efficiency.
Versatile
- Extensive range of nail lengths and diameters targeting utility hole and revision option offering the ability to customize the procedure.
Features
The system combines the principles of a compression hip screw with the biomechanical advantage of an intramedullary nail. By combining a proximal 1.8M radius of curvature with a 3-degree distal bend, the resultant bow is comparable to a proximal 1.5M radius of curvature with a minimal offset. This not only accommodates the anterior bow of the natural femur but also is designed to help ease insertion through the proximal region and minimize the risk of penetrating the anterior cortex.
