There are several challenges with conventional hip fracture implants:

1. Varus collapse

2. Femoral neck shortening

3. Shaft fractures below the tip of the nail

How is the TRIGEN INTERTAN Intertrochanteric Antegrade Nail different?

Improved Patient Outcomes¹
• 0 incidence of neck malunion, non-union, uncontrolled collapse or Z-effect at one year
• 0 patients had shortening in 73% of cases (only 27% of cases had mild shortening, <5mm)
• 90% of patients recovered their pre-fracture functional status according to the Barthel Index and
• 58% recovered according to the Harris Hip Score

Features
• Integrated interlocking screw configuration
• Trapezoidal shape in the proximal femur for a press-fit
• Clothes pin distal tip on the short nails

Benefits
• Improved patient outcomes
• Fracture stability
• Active linear compression
• Rotational control
