What is a TFN procedure?
The Synthes Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) is intended to treat stable and unstable pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof.
What is TFN nail?
The Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) is intended to treat stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof.
What is TFNA?
The Trochanteric Fixation Nail – Advanced (TFNA) can be used to treat stable or unstable pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures or a combination of pertrochanteric and intertrochanteric fractures.
What is the TFNA’s helical blade technology designed to do?
TFNA Helical Blade technology is designed to compress bone during insertion, which enhances implant anchorage and may reduce the risk of cut-out. Oblique lateral end of both blade and screw lies flush to lateral cortex to reduce protrusion on soft tissue.
What is Cephalomedullary nail?
The Cephalomedullary Nail was designed to help treat fractures of the femur, especially intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. The nail features a small proximal section that is designed to minimize the amount of bone that must be removed for nail insertion.
What is a DHS surgery?
Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of hip fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct.
Is IM nailing the same as ORIF?
Compared with ORIF, IM nailing significantly reduced the operation time and complication rate. However, no significant differences were observed between the two surgical techniques in several outcomes, including time to union, union rate, radial bow magnitude, and loss of forearm rotation.
When do you use IM nailing?
Intramedullary nailing is surgery to repair a broken bone and keep it stable. The most common bones fixed by this procedure are the thigh, shin, hip, and upper arm. A permanent nail or rod is placed into the center of the bone. It will help you be able to put weight on the bone.
How does a DHS screw Work?
The DHS is based on tension band principle and allows the screw to slide within the barrel to enable compression of the fracture when the patient begins to bear weight. This principle only works in the presence of intact medial wall and so cannot be successful in a reverse oblique fracture of the proximal femur.
How do you put in IM nails?
- insert nail over guidewire and push into place manually as much as possible.
- if compression is needed across fracture site, insert distal interlocking screws via perfect circles technique then backslap distal fragment into proximal fragment.
What is a trochanteric nail?
The Arthrex trochanteric nail is a next-generation hip nail that addresses the remaining shortcomings of current systems and consists of three nail types—short nail, long nail, and the innovative ES nail. Telescoping Lag Screw—Self-contained collapse within the lag screw prevents lateral lag screw irritation.
What is a DHS fixation?
What is a TFN nail system?
The Synthes Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System permits an intramedullary approach for the fixation of frac- tures of the femur. The TFN System consists of a series of cannulated nails, cannulated helical blades, cannulated femoral neck screws, cannulated end caps, and locking bolts and screws.
What is the TFN-advanced proximal femoral nailing system?
DSUS/TRM/0614/0109 Rev L 08/21 DV The TFN-ADVANCED Proximal Femoral Nailing System is designed to advance hip fracture treatment with:
What are the parts of the TFN system?
The TFN System consists of a series of cannulated nails, cannulated helical blades, cannulated fem- oral neck screws, cannulated end caps, and locking bolts and screws. All of the implants in the TFN System are made of ti- tanium alloy.*
How do you install a TTFN nail system?
14 SynthesTFN – Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail System Technique Guide Insert the guide wire through the protection sleeve and drill sleeve. Confirm guide wire placement in both the AP and lateral planes. Insert to a depth of approximately 15 cm. Re- move the drill sleeve.
