Intended Use

The TRIGEN® Low Profile Bone Screw can be used with several types of nails in Smith & Nephew's (TRIGEN) Titanium Nail System. The TRIGEN® Low Profile Bone Screw therefore has the following indications: Indications for interlocking intramedullary nails include simple long bone fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction following tumor resection and grafting; supracondylar fractures; bone lengthening and shortening. Interlocking intramedullary nails are indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the long bones being treated. In addition to the indications for intramedullary nails, devices that contain holes/slots proximally to accept screws that thread into the femoral head for compression and rotational stability (e.g. Femoral Antegrade Nail, Trochanteric Antegrade Nail and Femoral/Recon Antegrade Nail) are indicated for the following: subtrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures. In addition to the indications for interlocking intramedullary nails, devices that use a retrograde femoral surgical approach (e.g. Knee Nail; Retrograde and Supracondylar Nails) are indicated for the following: comminuted supracondylar fractures with or without intra-articular extension; fractures that require opening the knee joint to stabilize the femoral condylar segment; fractures above total knee implants (peri-prosthetic fractures). The TRIGEN® InterTAN nails are indicated for fractures of the femur including: simple shaft fractures, comminuted shaft fractures, spiral shaft fractures, long oblique shaft fractures and segmental shaft fractures; subtrochanteric fractures; intertrochanteric fractures; ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures; intracapsular fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting; bone lengthening and shortening. SURESHOT® TAN Nails are indicated for fractures of the femur including simple long bone fractures, severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathologic fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting; supracondylar fractures; bone lengthening and shortening; and for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal third and distal fourth of the femur. In addition, SURESHOT TAN Nails contain holes/slots proximally to accept screws that thread into the femoral head for compression and rotational stability and are indicated for the following: subtrochanteric fractures; intertrochanteric fractures; ipsilateral femoral shaft/neck fractures; and intracapsular fractures. The TRIGEN® Low Profile Bone Screw is intended for single use only.

Device Story

TRIGEN® Low Profile Bone Screw is a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) orthopedic implant designed for use with Smith & Nephew's TRIGEN® and SURESHOT® intramedullary nail systems. The screw features an internal hex drive and specific thread/tip geometry to provide fixation for long bone fractures. It is intended for single-use by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. The device functions as a mechanical fastener to provide compression and rotational stability when inserted through nail holes/slots into bone. Clinical benefit is derived from stabilizing fractures to facilitate healing. No software or algorithms are involved.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness supported by bench testing, including static torsional strength, bending fatigue, and axial pullout strength.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. Dimensions: 4.5 mm and 5.0 mm diameters; lengths 20-110 mm. Features: Internal hex drive, specific thread form and cutting tip geometry. Single-use. No software or energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring fixation of long bone fractures, including simple, comminuted, spiral, oblique, segmental, nonunions, malunions, polytrauma, pathologic fractures, tumor resection/grafting, bone lengthening/shortening, and peri-prosthetic fractures. Specific applications include femoral shaft/neck, subtrochanteric, intertrochanteric, and supracondylar fractures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.
