What is Interzan Intramedullary nail?
Intramedullary nail is a surgical procedure for repairing fractures and maintaining their stability. The most common bones fixed in this way are the thigh, tibia, hip joint, and upper arm. A permanent nail or rod is placed at the center of the bone. It will help you put weight on the bones.
It consists of Femoral Nail, lag Screw, compression screw, end cap, locking bolt.
Indications of InterZan Femoral Intramedullary Nail?
The InterZan Femoral Interlocking Nail is indicated for fractures of the femur including simple shaft fractures, comminuted shaft fractures, spiral shaft fractures, long oblique shaft fractures and segmental shaft fractures; subtrochanteric fractures; intertrochanteric fractures; ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures; intracapsular fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting; bone lengthening and shortening.
The wider thread pitch at the tip of the screw penetrates bone faster than the finer trailing threads, compressing the bone fragment gradually as the screw is advanced.
The integrated compression screw and lag screw thread together to generate push/pull forces that hold compression after instruments are removed and eliminate Z-effect.
Preloaded Cannulated Set Screw allows for creation of a fixed angle device or facilitates postoperative sliding.
