Elastic Nail

Flexible Stabilization for Pediatric & Simple Adult Fractures

Biocompatible titanium alloy nails providing elastic stable intramedullary fixation (ESIN) for minimally invasive fracture management. Features pre-bent tips, smooth trocar ends, and diameter-matched instrumentation for rapid insertion. Ideal for pediatric shaft fractures and select adult patterns requiring flexible rigidity.

Key Highlights:
✓ Biomechanical Synergy: Titanium modulus mimics bone → promotes callus formation
✓ Minimally Invasive: Sub-1cm incisions; no intraoperative imaging restrictions
✓ Diameter Range: 1.5–4.0mm (peds) / 3.0–5.0mm (adults)
✓ Contoured Precision: C-shaped/S-shaped pre-bending for anatomic fit
✓ Complication Control: Smooth tips ↓ neurovascular risk; material ↓ infection rate
✓ MRI/CT Compatibility: Zero artifact vs. stainless steel

Target Cases:

Pediatric femoral/tibial diaphyseal fractures (age 3-14)
Adult forearm fractures (radius/ulna shafts)
Clavicle midshaft nonunions
Osteogenesis imperfecta stabilization

The gold standard in flexible fixation – where biology meets biomechanics.

Elastic Titanium Nailing System
Revolutionizing Flexible Intramedullary Fixation

Clinical Philosophy
This system leverages titanium’s elastic properties to transform rigid intramedullary fixation into a biologically harmonious solution. By enabling controlled micro-motion at fracture sites, it accelerates callus formation while preserving periosteal blood flow – achieving union rates >95% in pediatric femoral shafts without open reduction.

Engineering Excellence

Feature	Clinical Impact
Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI)	Modulus (110 GPa) near cortical bone → ↓ stress shielding
Pre-Bent Trocar Tips (C/S Shapes)	Automatic nail rotation → 360° canal filling without fluoroscopy
Diameter-Adjusted Instrumentation	Single-tool nail insertion/cutting (↓ operative time 40%)
Smooth Distal Ends	↓ Risk of neurovascular impingement (0.3% complication rate)

Advantages Over Conventional Solutions

Biologic Healing Priority
- Allows 0.5–1mm fracture site motion → stimulates callus vs. plate-induced atrophy
- No reaming required → preserves endosteal blood supply
Surgical Efficiency
- Insertion time ≤15 mins (diaphyseal fractures)
- Radiation exposure ↓ 70% vs. locking nailing
Complication Mitigation
- Nail removal rate <8% (vs. 25–60% with plates)
- Delayed unions ↓ 4x vs. casting (particularly in OI patients)

Indications

Pediatric:
– Femoral/tibial shaft fractures (31-D/4-M)
– Forearm both-bone fractures (22-D/3.1)
– Humeral shaft fractures (age 5-12)
Adult:
– Isolated ulna/radius shaft fractures
– Clavicle nonunions with >1.5cm shortening
– Supplemental fixation in pathologic fractures

Contraindications

Absolute:
Comminuted fractures (>3 fragments)
Intra-articular extension
Active osteomyelitis
Nail diameter >50% canal diameter
Relative:
Obesity (BMI >30 adults; weight >50kg in peds)
Severe osteoporosis (T-score <−3.0)
Ipsilateral joint implants

Critical Postoperative Protocol

Weight-Bearing: Touch-down only × 3 weeks → progressive loading guided by callus
Implant Removal: Optional at 6-9 months (recommended for athletes/dancers)
MRI: Conditional ≤3.0 Tesla (no artifact distortion)

Rx Only. System includes nail benders, introducers, extractors & custom cutters.
