Intramedullary Nailing System – Proximal Femur (INSPF)
The ITS. Intramedullary Nailing System – Proximal Femur (INS PF) is based on proven concepts of intramedullary nailing and integrates modern standards for fracture care. The INS PF nail features innovative technologies such as controlled dynamization and enhanced rotational stability, providing optimal treatment for proximal femur fractures.
- 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
Building on Prof. Küntscher’s proven concepts and decades of fracture care advancements, the I.T.S. Intramedullary Nail System (INS) prioritizes patient safety with patented DyCon® technology, integrated navigation aids, and intuitive techniques — providing a comprehensive solution for proximal femur fractures.
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.
DyCon® Screw pair
The DyCon® Screw pair, comprising a load-bearing Lag Screw and an inferiorly placed DyCon® Set Screw, creates a dynamically controlled force carrier system in the femoral neck and head.
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.
Lengths
All nails come in left and right versions, with length-dependent antecurvatures to allow for a close anatomical fit to the patient. The short and intermediate nails are indicated for all lengths of femurs and as such use the average femoral antecurvature of 1100mm.
