Expert Tibia Nail

OrthoLimited Expert Tibia Nail

Introduction

Expert Tibia Nail is an orthopedic implant used for the fixation of tibial fractures. It is a type of intramedullary nail, which is inserted into the medullary canal of the tibia and provides stable fixation to promote bone healing. The Expert Tibia Nail is designed to provide superior mechanical stability and to help restore normal alignment and function of the tibia.

It is made of biocompatible materials such as titanium alloy or stainless steel, and is available in a range of sizes to fit the anatomy of the patient. The nail is implanted using minimally invasive techniques, which can result in faster recovery times and reduced pain compared to traditional open surgeries.

Versatile proximal locking options in Expert Tibia Nail

1. Versatile proximal locking options. Three unique and innovative locking options, in combination with cancellous bone locking screws, increase the stability of the proximal fragment for proximal third fractures.

2. Two state of the art medio-lateral (ML) locking options enable primary compression or secondary controlled dynamization.

End caps

• Securely lock the most proximal oblique locking screw to create a fixed-angle construct

• End cap prevents ingrowth of tissue and facilitates nail extraction

• Self-retaining Screw Driver recess for effortless end cap pick-up and ease of insertion

• 0mm end cap sits flush with nail

• 5, 10 and 15mm end caps extend nail height if nail is over inserted Cannulated

Advanced nail design

• New anatomic bend for ease of insertion

• Titanium alloy for improved mechanical and fatigue properties

• Cannulated nails (from Ø 8mm to Ø 13mm) for reamed or unreamed techniques, enabling nail insertion over guide wire

• 2.5mm or 3mm ball tipped guide wires may be removed through the nail and insertion handle assembly (no exchange tube required).

• Solid nails (from Ø 8mm to Ø10 mm) for unreamed technique

Advanced distal locking options in Expert Tibia Nail

1. Distal oblique locking option to prevent soft tissue damage and increase stability of the distal fragment

2. Two ML and one antero-posterior (AP) locking options for stability of the distal fragment

All locking screws

1. Double lead thread for more contact points for enhanced stability and ease of insertion

2. Thread closer to screw head providing better bone purchase in the near cortex and improved stability

3. Titanium alloy for improved mechanical and fatigue properties

4. Self-tapping blunt tip

5. Self-retaining Screw Driver recess allows improved torque transmission and increased resistance to stripping relative to a hex recess and secure locking screw pick-up.

Cancellous bone locking screws

1. Indicated for the three unique proximal locking options of all tibia nails diameters

2. Dual core design for optimized purchase in cancellous bone

3. Unicortical
