Ramic intramedullary nail system-Humeral Nail

Trauhui Trauma Ramic intramedullary nail system-Humeral Nail

• Straight nail with central insertion point, to avoid potential insertion through the fracture site, and to reduce the harm on supraspinatus tendon;

  
  

• Proximal locking with 4.0mm screw: left and right design to provide stable fixation on Humeral Head . Ascending screw hole to avoid the harm on allxiary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex artery;

  
  

• Distal locking with 3.5mm screw: Short nail, interlocking design to provide more stability;

  
  

• Three size end cap are available for options;

  
  

• Blunt screw tip to reduce harm on soft tissues. Low profile head to minimize the screw exposure;

  
  

• Long nail, special screw angle to avoid the radial nerve and provide secured locking position.

What is the difference between Intramedullary nailing (IMN) and plate fixation?

Nailing is less invasive and may require less surgical time, but may be associated with rotator cuff symptoms. Plating allows anatomic reduction and fracture compression, but the more extensive surgical approach has a potential risk of radial nerve injury.

The plating of a humeral shaft fracture in adults results in faster functional recovery, especially of shoulder function. Plating was associated with more temporary nerve palsies, but fewer implant-related complications and surgical reinterventions, than nailing. Despite heterogeneity in implants and surgical approach, plating seems to be the preferred treatment option for these fractures.
