Hyper Proximal Interlocking
Nail for Femoral Bone
Home
A. Nail features
- i) Insertion of nail through Greater Trochanter assisted by the 5° Valgus built into the nail
- ii) Static or dynamic locking can be performed via the aiming arm in 180 mm & 240 mm length nail. The long nails additionally can secondary dynamization.
- iii) Product range
- Short Nail - Available in length 180 mm & 240 mm in 9, 10, 11, 12 mm diameter applicable for Left or Right Proximal femur
- Long nail is anatomical, designed separately for Left femur and Right femur - Available in length 340 mm to 440 mm (in 20mm increments) in 9, 10, 11, 12 mm diameter with anterior bow curvature of 1500 mm.
- iv) Proximally two options of cephalic bone purchase
- Helical Blade Self-locking device (Dia: 13-10 mm)
- Hip Screw (Dia: 10 mm) with set screw system
- Rotational and angular stability achieved with one single blade or screw.
- v) Optional additional rotational stability of femur Head fragment with use of Anti-rotation Screw by Miss-The-Nail technique
- Unique device - Anti-rotation Jig uses Miss-The-Nail technique to site the additional Anti-Rotation screw into the neck & head
- Prevents rotation of head
- Size – Diameter: 4.0 mm, Length options: 65 to 115mm, in 5mm increments
- vi) Slimmest Nail Ever – Pioneering the use of Reduced proximal diameter of the nail without any compromise of Stability, Safety and comfort of use
- 15 mm Proximal diameter
- Less reaming and bone loss in proximal femur
- Bone conserving capabilities
- It can be used in younger patients and patients with narrow femur canal

- Femoral shaft fractures
- Hyper Proximal Femoral Interlocking Nail - Long (Length 340 mm – 440 mm)
- In addition to the indications for the Short Nail system,
- Low and extended subtrochanteric fractures
- Ipsilateral trochanteric fractures with shaft femur fractures
- Pathological fractures of the proximal femur
- Contraindications
- solated or combined medial femoral neck fractures
- Isolated or combined distal femur fractures with extension into femoral condyles
C. Precautions
- Do not use this nail with systemic infection, infection localized to the site implantation or when the patient has allergy or sensitivity to any of the implant materials.
- Surgeon should consider patient bone quality to ensure stable fixation.
- Severe obesity or degenerative diseases should be considered.
- Compromised vascularity in the site of implantation may prevent
D. Safety & Electromagnetic Compatibility
- Please read the instructions concerning the above-mentioned Trauma Implants made by Surgitech Ortho India. This document contains safety instructions and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) information for the implants.
