## Intended Use

Indications for the Quantum IM Composite Humeral Nail include simple humeral fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting. The Quantum IM Composite Humeral Nail is indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the humerus.

## Device Story

Intramedullary nailing system for humeral fracture fixation; consists of carbon fiber reinforced polymer cylindrical solid rod and titanium-alloy self-tapping interlocking screws. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings to stabilize fractures between proximal and distal humerus. Provides mechanical support for bone healing; inserted via surgical procedure. Benefits include rigid fixation of complex humeral fractures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; performance characteristics evaluated per ASTM F 1264.

## Technological Characteristics

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer cylindrical solid rod (7-8.5 mm diameter, 180-280 mm length); 3.5 mm self-tapping cortical titanium-alloy interlocking screws. Mechanical fixation device; non-electronic.

## Regulatory 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.

#### Intended Use/Indications for Use

Indications for the Quantum IM Composite Humeral Nail include simple humeral fractures; severely comminuted, spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; nonunions and malunions; polytrauma and multiple fractures; prophylactic nailing of impending pathological fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting. The Quantum IM Composite Humeral Nail is indicated for fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the humerus.

#### System Description

The Quantum IM Composite Nailing System includes nails, interlocking screws and a set of instruments.

The Quantum IM Composite Nail is a cylindrical solid rod, made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Its diameter ranges from 7 to 8.5 mm, with lengths in the range of 180 to 280 mm. The nail provides for holes at its proximal and distal sections, designed for the insertion of the 3.5 mm self-tapping, cortical, titanium-alloy-made, interlocking screws. The nail has a closed, pointed distal end, and its proximal end incorporates a thread enabling connection of insertion/extraction instrumentation.
