M/DN® Intramedullary Fixation
Tibial
Transverse holes provide the option to interlock in the conventional manner. The nail also features a dynamic slot proximally to allow compression.
The M/DN Tibial Nail allows the surgeon to capture fractures close to the joint space by inserting oblique screws that do not compromise the tibial plateau posteriorly.
The screw holes have been moved even further distally than in regular nails, to allow treatment of distal metaphyseal fractures of the tibia. And, the tip is beveled posteriorly to aid insertion and to avoid contact with the posterior wall.
Femoral/Recon-Interlock
The distinctive arrangement of the proximal screw holes makes the M/DN Femoral Nail suitable for both interlocking and reconstruction applications. This arrangement was made possible by using a patented proximal hole configuration, thereby maintaining a strong femoral construct. The strength of this design makes the nail appropriate for unreamed use if the surgeon selects this method.
Retrograde
The M/DN Retrograde Nail is available with a dynamization slot for use with difficult fractures. The three distal holes are very close together for optimal fixation, even for supracondylar fractures. The M/DN Retrograde Nail has a five-degree bend distally to accommodate the posterior insertion point in the inter-condylar notch.
Humeral
Suture holes at the proximal end of the humeral nail help the surgeon capture greater tuberosity fragments. These suture holes will also accept 1.3mm Cable-Ready® Cable Grip System cable). The M/DN Humeral Nail has two oblique holes proximally and is complemented by an oblique radiolucent guide that facilitates proximal locking in a t least three planes. Distal locking is achieved by an anteroposterior screw which is a safe method of locking intramedullary nails in the humerus because it helps avoid neuromuscular structures. The nail also features a dynamic slot distally to allow compression at the fracture site.
Instrumentation
M/DN Instrumentation is kept to an absolute minimum. The instruments are clearly labeled, easily accessible, and logically laid out to follow the order of the procedure. The cases are made of durable, autoclavable plastic with molded cavities and have step-by-step assembly illustrations on the lid.
