TrigenHumeralNail_Overview1

The TRIGEN◊ Humeral Nailing System product offering includes a 16cm Proximal Straight Nail, a 16cm Proximal Bent Nail, and a full line of Long Bent Nails. Nails with a proximal bend are best suited for simple two-part fractures of the proximal humerus involving the surgical neck of the humerus and proximal third humeral fractures without comminution. In these scenarios, the Herzog curve facilitates an easier entry portal attainment and nail insertion with an incision just medial to the rotator cuff insertion.

The Long Bent Humeral Nail is primarily indicated for humeral shaft fractures which are inherently not prone to varus malposition. The lateral portal design allows insertion just medial to the rotator cuff insertion and facilitates easier portal attainment and nail insertion.The 16cm Proximal Straight Humeral Nail offers the option of a medialized entry site. If the greater tuberosity is fractured or compromised, a straight centralized starting point avoids fracture extension from the tuberosity fracture into the entry portal and resultant loss of nail stability. The entry portal for the straight nail is slightly more difficult to attain than the curved nail entry portal.
