The Humerus Nail is an intramedullary implant used for the fixation of various humeral shaft fractures (mid-diaphyseal fractures of the upper arm bone) and potentially some fractures extending into the proximal or distal ends. The nail is inserted into the intramedullary canal, providing stable, load-sharing fixation. The system is highly versatile, offering both cannulated (hollow) and solid designs, and a range of smaller diameters suitable for the humerus. Locking screws secure the nail to prevent rotational instability and shortening.
Key features include:
-
Anatomical Target: Optimized for fixation of fractures of the humeral shaft.
-
Design Options: Available in both Cannulated (7.0mm and 8.0mm Dia.) and Solid (6.0mm, 6.7mm, and 7.5mm Dia.) designs.
-
Intramedullary Fixation: Provides strong, load-sharing stability.
-
Primary Use: Stabilization of humeral shaft fractures.
-
Multiple Diameters: Available in 6.0mm, 6.7mm, 7.0mm, 7.5mm, and 8.0mm.
-
Length Range: Lengths range from 205mm up to 310mm (with small, precise variations).
-
Material Options: Available in both Stainless Steel and Titanium.
