Femoral Intramedullary Nail

The gamma nail, also known as the trochanteric nail, is an osteosynthetic implant that is intended to treat proximal femoral fractures in the trochanter region through a closed intramedullary fixation method.input:
output:Characteristicsinput:
output:- Anti-rotation to maintain the normal anatomy and biomechanics.

- The proximal femur is stabilized to a greater extent by the trapezoidal nail profile.

- 5° lateral offset for a minimally invasive trochanteric approach.

- Compression is actively maintained to facilitate stability and union.

- - The preservation of femoral offset to facilitate the return to function.

- The gluteus medius tendon and the lateral wall of the greater trochanter are preserved by the small proximal diameter.input:
output:- Femur fractures, such as simple shaft fractures, comminuted shaft fractures, spiral shaft fractures, long oblique shaft fractures, and segmental shaft fractures

- Subtrochanteric fractures

- Intertrochanteric fractures

- Fractures of the ipsilateral femoral shaft or neck
-- Intracapsular fractures- Polytrauma and multiple fractures - Non-unions and malunions- Prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures- Reconstruction, which is performed after tumor resection and grafting.- Bone lengthening and shortening
