The cannulated humeral nail shown has several essential features for the treatment of humeral fractures:
Material: Typically made of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) or implant steel (ISO 58321E).
Design: It is cannulated, allowing for the insertion of a guide wire to facilitate placement. It can be slightly curved to accommodate humeral anatomy.
Locking Options: It offers multiple proximal and distal locking options for stable fixation of even short or complex fracture fragments. These options can include cancellous and cortical locking screws.
Dimensions: Available in several diameters (e.g., 7, 8, 9 mm) and lengths (e.g., 190 to 310 mm, varying by diameter) to accommodate different anatomies and fracture types.
Insertion: Can be introduced antegrade or retrograde, depending on the location and type of fracture.
Stability: The design and locking options are designed to provide robust fixation and axial stability, promoting bone healing.
