The Supra Condylar (IMSC) Nail is a specialized intramedullary implant used for the fixation of fractures in the distal third of the femur, specifically the supracondylar and intracondylar regions, just above the knee joint. This nail features a distinct distal curvature or flare to match the broad anatomy of the distal femur and is secured by multiple locking screws in different planes to achieve stable fixation in the complex bone anatomy near the joint . The IMSC design provides minimally invasive, load-sharing fixation crucial for early knee joint mobilization.
Key features include:
-
Distal Femoral Fixation: Optimized for fractures near the knee joint (supracondylar area).
-
Intramedullary Fixation: Provides strong, load-sharing stability.
-
Primary Use: Stabilization of distal femoral fractures.
-
Multiple Diameters: Available in 9.0mm, 10.0mm, 11.0mm, and 12.0mm.
-
Wide Length Range: Short lengths range from 150mm up to 350mm (with 50mm variation).
-
Material Options: Available in both Stainless Steel and Titanium.
