A 95% union rate would indicate success, but the amount of patients who make a functional recovery after fracture continues to fall short.¹ Comparisons of cephalomedullary nails with sliding hip screws have found no difference in functional outcomes, indicating that current devices have not solved the problem.²

The fourth generation offers a better solution – an implant with improved translational and rotational stability of the femoral head, neck and shaft. The TRIGEN◊ INTERTAN◊ nail achieves greater stability through its unique shape and dynamic linear compression. And this is leading to an improvement in functional outcomes, with one study showing 58% of patients treated with the INTERTAN◊ nail recovering their prefracture status.³

Tri-planar proximal fixation – the trapezoidal shape is based on hip stem design⁴.
Greater stability to the head and neck – the integrated, interlocking screws provide greater inter- and post-operative resistance to cut-out and the Z-effect⁵.
