TRIGEN™ INTERTAN™ Intertrochanteric Antegrade Nail
The TRIGEN INTERTAN Intertrochanteric Antegrade Nail is an orthopaedic solution designed to provide enhanced stability and improved patient outcomes in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. The nail utilizes a specific trapezoidal geometry that creates a press-fit in the metaphyseal region, effectively positioning more material laterally to better counteract tensile and stretching forces. This design philosophy focuses on maximizing the structural integrity of the construct during the healing process. Central to the system is the integration of compression screws that utilize a specialized worm gear mechanism. This mechanism is designed to convert rotational force into active compression while simultaneously stabilizing the medial fragment. By generating push and pull forces, these screws are intended to maintain compression after the instruments are removed and are specifically designed to eliminate the Z-effect, which can occur with traditional fixation devices.
