HIP-G – Proximal Femur
The ITS. HIP-G Proximal Femur is based on proven concepts of intramedullary nailing and integrates modern standards for fracture care. The HIP-G nail features innovative technologies such as controlled dynamization and enhanced rotational stability, providing optimal treatment for proximal femur fractures.
Building on Prof. Küntscher’s proven concepts and decades of fracture care advancements, the ITS. HIP-G – Proximal Femur prioritizes patient safety with patented DyCon® technology, integrated navigation aids, and intuitive techniques — providing a comprehensive solution for proximal femur fractures.
Proximal Features
- Easy-to-use, built-in targeting guides to aid k-wire placement
- 2 portal approach providing rotational stability both intra- and post-operatively
- Inferior set screw allowing for controlled dynamization
- Built-in closing of the fracture gap and compression of fracture
The HIP-G Proximal Femur System offers three different set screw options, providing maximum flexibility in surgical application. This allows the surgeon to select the optimal configuration according to the clinical situation, bone quality, and personal preference.
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Axial Set Screw
The axial set screw can be used alone or in combination with the DyCon® set screw. If used alone, the medial movement of the lag screw is blocked and the lateral movement is free depending on the remaining groove length of the lag screw.
Dynamization Control
The Inferior DyCon® Set Screw anchors into the nail and engages a groove in the Lag Screw, enabling controlled lateral dynamization and preventing medial migration with full contact.
While 5mm lateral dynamization is standard, this design allows scalable lag screw movement from 0mm (static) to 10mm (dynamic+).
Ensures maximum stability with no lateral movement, suited for fractures that require rigid fixation.
Allows up to 5mm of controlled lateral movement, limiting the Femoral Neck Shortening to an area of “no” or “mild” inferior influence to the hip function.
- Provides up to 10mm of movement for enhanced dynamization, i.e. for complex or unstable fractures requiring more collapse to foster bone healing.
