Product Overview

Elastic Nail is intended for fixation of diaphyseal fractures where the canal is narrow or flexibility of the implant is paramount.

Elastic Nail is also intended to treat metaphyseal and epiphyseal fractures, such as radial neck fractures, and is intended for fixation of small long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones. In pediatric applications, the flexibility of the elastic nail allows it to be inserted at a point which avoids disruption of the bone growth plate.

Intended Use

The Elastic Nailing System is intended for the fixation of diaphyseal fractures where the canal is narrow or flexibility of the implant is crucial. It includes:

Lower extremity fractures in pediatric and small-stature patients.
Upper extremity fractures in all patients. This system is also suitable for the treatment of metaphyseal and epiphyseal fractures, such as radial neck fractures, and for fixation of small long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones. In pediatric applications, the flexibility of the elastic nail allows for insertion at a point that avoids disruption of the bone growth plate.
