The suprapatellar approach for tibial intramedullary nailing allows nail insertion with the knee in an extended position, helping reduce deforming forces associated with quadriceps traction. This positioning can facilitate fracture reduction and maintenance, particularly in proximal tibial fractures. The approach also reduces the need for extensive manipulation of the injured limb and facilitates identification of the nail entry point.
Key advantages include:
The use of a suprapatellar approach for tibial intramedullary nailing is also described in orthopedic literature, particularly for proximal, shaft, and distal tibial fracture patterns.
The proximal portion features a 14 mm design with an innovative multi-plane locking configuration, incorporating 5 screw holes oriented in 4 directions.
The proximal locking screws feature dual-core threading to increase screw strength. The dual-line thread design increases the contact area and holding strength of the locking screws.
The continuous long-curved contour is designed to reduce pressure on the medullary canal during implantation and correspond to the anatomical structure of the Chinese population.
The ultra-distal portion features a 5 mm design with 4 locking holes in 3 directions, providing additional distal fixation options and supporting the structural stability of the nail.
The distal locking configuration provides multiple interlocking options:
