Humeral Proxomal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail

Key Features and Benefits of the Humeral Proxomal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail

The Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail offers superior stability and versatility for complex proximal humerus fractures. Its unique multi-locking screw design provides exceptional fixation in multiple planes, addressing a wide range of fracture patterns. The nail’s anatomical shape and smooth surface facilitate easy insertion while minimizing soft tissue trauma. Crafted from high-grade biocompatible titanium, the implant promotes bone healing and ensures long-term durability. This innovative solution delivers excellent clinical outcomes and enhanced patient recovery.  

Indications for Humeral Proxomal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail

The Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail is specifically designed for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures. Its primary indications include:

• Two-part proximal humerus fractures: Stabilization of fractures involving the humeral head and greater tuberosity.
• Three-part proximal humerus fractures: Treatment of fractures with separation of the humeral head, greater tuberosity, and lesser tuberosity.
• Four-part proximal humerus fractures: Management of complex fractures involving all four components of the proximal humerus.
• Osteoporotic humerus fractures: Support for fractures in patients with weakened bone.
• Comminuted proximal humerus fractures: Fixation of fractures with multiple bone fragments.
• Nonunion of proximal humerus fractures: Treatment of failed to heal fractures.
• Reverse shoulder arthroplasty: Stabilization of the humerus after removal of the humeral head.
• Other complex proximal humerus injuries: Addressing various challenging fracture patterns.

How a Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail Works

The Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail is designed for the stable fixation of complex proximal humerus fractures. The nail is inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus and secured in place using multiple locking screws. This multi-locking system provides superior stability compared to traditional intramedullary nails. The nail’s anatomical design allows for optimal bone contact and load transfer, promoting bone healing and reducing the risk of implant failure. Additionally, the nail’s modularity allows for customization to address various fracture patterns, making it a versatile solution for complex proximal humerus injuries.

FAQ

Q1: What is a Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail?

A Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail is a specialized implant designed for the treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures. It features multiple locking options for enhanced stability.

Q2: What is the purpose of the multiple locking options?

The multi-locking screws provide increased stability and allow for fixation in multiple planes, accommodating various fracture patterns.

Q3: What types of fractures is this nail indicated for?

It is primarily indicated for two-part, three-part, and four-part proximal humerus fractures, as well as other complex fractures in the region.

Q4: What material is typically used for the nail?

Titanium is the most common material due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

Q5: How is the nail inserted and locked into place?

The nail is inserted into the medullary canal of the humerus and secured using locking screws that engage with the nail body.

Q6: What are the benefits of using a Humeral Proximal MultiLoc Interlocking Nail?

Benefits include improved fracture fixation, reduced risk of implant failure, faster healing, and better functional outcomes compared to traditional treatments.

Q7: Does the nail require additional implants for fixation?

In some cases, additional screws or plates may be used in conjunction with the nail for complete fracture stabilization.

Q8: Is the nail typically removed after healing?

Generally, the nail is removed once the fracture has healed and the bone has sufficiently consolidated. However, this decision depends on individual patient factors.

Q9: What are the potential risks associated with this type of nail?

As with any surgery, there are potential risks such as infection, hardware failure, and nerve damage. However, these risks are generally low when the procedure is performed by an experienced surgeon.

Q10: How long is the typical recovery period after surgery with this nail?

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the fracture and individual patient factors. It usually involves physical therapy and can take several months.
