Multifix Humeral Nail Features & Specifications – Complete Guide

 

Humerus fractures become especially challenging when bone quality is poor or when fractures span both the proximal region and shaft. In such cases, a modern intramedullary solution like the Multifix-type humeral nail provides reliable fixation with minimal soft-tissue disruption. Designed as a load-sharing implant, it stabilizes fractures from within the medullary canal, preserving periosteal blood supply and supporting early mobilization. these systems typically feature a cannulated titanium nail for accurate guidewire insertion, multiple diameter and length options, and a straight or gently contoured profile for secure proximal anchorage. Their real strength lies in versatile locking: multiple proximal screw trajectories for tuberosity control, optional calcar support to resist varus collapse, augmentation concepts for osteoporotic bone, and stable multi-plane distal locking. Some designs also allow controlled fracture compression. streamlined, surgeon-friendly instrumentation reduces operative time and complexity. Overall, Multifix-style humeral nails offer a single, versatile platform for proximal, shaft, and combined fractures, delivering stable fixation, predictable union, and faster functional recovery.
