Expert Humeral Nail: locking with spiral blade
or screws
The range of indications for the Expert Humeral Nail includes
humeral shaft fractures down to approx. 5 cm proximal to
the olecranon fossa with closed epiphyseal lines (AO/ASIF
classification: A-C) for:
- Stable or unstable fractures
- Refractures, some fractures with delayed healing and
pseudoarthroses
The Expert Humeral Nail can be inserted into the humeral
shaft in both antegrade and retrograde directions. It can be
used universally for either the left or right humerus.
Expert Proximal Humeral Nail: standard locking with
spiral blade
The range of indications for the Expert Proximal Humeral Nail
includes humerus fractures in adults in the subcapital area
(AO/ASIF classification: A2, A3), or with concurrent avulsion
of the greater tuberosity (AO/ASIF classification: Extra-articular bifocal fractures B1, B2, B3) for:
- Stable or unstable fractures
- Refractures, some fractures with delayed healing and
pseudoarthroses
In certain cases, this technique can also be suitable for proximal articular fractures (AO classification: C fractures), provided that the domed head fragment is large enough and that
it is not itself fractured. The Expert Proximal Humeral Nail is
inserted antegrade into the proximal humeral shaft and can
be used universally for either the left or right humerus.
