Trochanteric Nail System

The Arthrex trochanteric nail is a next-generation hip nail that addresses the remaining shortcomings of current systems and consists of three nail types—short nail, long nail, and the innovative ES nail.

Telescoping Lag Screw—Self-contained collapse within the lag screw prevents lateral lag screw irritation.

ES Nail Option—Combines the mechanical advantages of a long nail with the ease of a short nail. It extends through the isthmus of the bone, which can reduce distal tip stress risers, potential “pendulum” effects, and risks of peri-prosthetic fractures associated with short nails.¹ The ES hole is easily targeted through the nail jig.

Biological Augmentation—Allows for the delivery of orthobiologics (BoneSync™ cement, autologous blood products, AlloSync Pure™, etc) through the lag screw instrumentation, prior to final screw seating.

Advanced Instrumentation—Designed to reduce surgical pain points and facilitate surgical work flow.

Lag screw locking through the inserter (no set screw required)
Captured distal 5.0 mm screws
Calibrated drill bits
Jig removal through the more lateral impactor attachment hole
