trochanterlateralproximal

Femoral shaft fractures down to the middle third Combined injuries of the femoral neck and trochanter area and subtrochanteric and shaft injuries Pathological fractures – in the case of single or multiple metastases, the GN osteosynthesis is not indicated in primary malignant bone tumours Revision osteosynthesis SPECIAL INDICATIONS Corrective osteotomies Contraindications General contraindications for open fracture treatment in the case of Infected soft tissues Poor local blood circulation situation Fractures that are outside the area of indication for which the implant can be used in a stable manner Relative contraindication Shaft fractures which exceed the isthmus of the femoral medullary cavity and in which varus / valgus instability can only be avoided by special techniques (cerclages of the fracture zone, 2 bolts in an oblong hole) Characteristics Double-T blade for higher load-bearing capacity and absolute rotation stability Impaction of the fracture through sliding mechanism of the blade Compacted blade liner Minimised cut-out risk Simple application without major complications
