The Upper Bend Tibia Nail (Crimped) is an intramedullary nail specifically designed for the fixation of fractures of the tibia (shin bone). Its defining feature is the “Upper Bend” or proximal curvature, which is anatomically contoured to facilitate insertion through the tibial plateau and reduce stress on the proximal locking screws. The “Crimped” feature likely refers to a specific design element on the nail, possibly related to its insertion point or the material/surface finish. This nail provides strong, load-sharing stabilization for various tibial shaft fractures. The system is available across multiple diameters and lengths to accommodate diverse patient anatomies and fracture patterns.
Key features include:
-
Anatomical Proximal Bend: Designed for easier insertion into the proximal tibia and minimizing patellar tendon irritation.
-
Intramedullary Fixation: Provides strong, load-sharing fixation within the tibial canal.
-
Primary Use: Stabilization and fixation of various fractures of the tibial shaft.
-
Multiple Diameters: Available in 8.0mm, 9.0mm, 10.0mm, and 11.0mm.
-
Wide Length Range: Lengths range from 280mm to 380mm.
-
Material Options: Available in both Stainless Steel and Titanium.
