Expert Tibia Nail
Heavy-duty ground anchor for secure installations
Expert Tibia Nail is indicated for fractures in the tibial shaft as well as for metaphyseal and certain intraarticular fractures of the tibial head and the pilon tibiale.
Case 1: Fracture involving the proximal component
The use of the three locking screws in the proximal oblique locking options ensures optimal stabilization of the proximal fragment. The distal segment can be stabilized by using two ML locking options. Stability of the distal fragment can be enhanced by the use of a third locking screw in the AP hole.
Case 2: Shaft fracture
For simple shaft fractures, two proximal ML and two distal ML locking screws are normally sufficient to stabilize the fracture. Secondary dynaminization is achieved by removing the proximal static locking screw.
Case 3: Fracture involving the distal component
The use of four distal locking screws in Expert Tibia Nail is sometimes necessary to achieve stabilization of the distal fragment. In many cases though, three locking screws placed in the most distal locking options are sufficient to stabilize the distal fragment.
Expert Tibia Nail Specification
Versatile proximal locking options in Expert Tibia Nail
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.
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
5mm, 10mm 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
Distal oblique locking option to prevent soft tissue damage and increase stability of the distal fragment
Two ML and one antero-posterior (AP) locking options for stability of the distal fragment
All locking screws
Double lead thread for more contact points for enhanced stability and ease of insertion
Thread closer to screw head providing better bone purchase in the near cortex and improved stability
Titanium alloy for improved mechanical and fatigue properties
Self-tapping blunt tip
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
Indicated for the three unique proximal locking options of all tibia nails diameters
Dual core design for optimized purchase in cancellous bone
