Affixus Nail

The affixus hip fracture nail combines the principles of a compression hip screw with the biomechanical advantages of an intramedullary nail.

Affixus nail. Nonunion of trochanteric fractures is relatively uncommon with a reported. The affixus hip fracture nail system with its two variants short and long is intended to treat stable and unstable proximal femoral fractures nonunions or malunions either pertrochanteric intertrochanteric high subtrochanteric or their combinations with extended use in case of bone loss due to tumor resections ipsilateral fractures of the proximal femur and its shaft impending pathological fractures etc. The affixus hip fracture nail system comprised of short and long nails provides surgeons with an intramedullary hip screw to stabilize fractures of the proximal femur. This not only accommodates the anterior bow of the natural femur.

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. The system combines the principles of a compression hip screw with the biomechanical advantage of an intramedullary nail. The system combines the principles of a compression hip screw with the biomechanical advantage of an intramedullary nail. The affixus hip fracture nail system provides an efficient practical solution for treating a wide range of proximal femoral fractures.
