Why Intertan Nails Are a Revolution in Intramedullary Hip Fracture Fixation?

 

Intertan nails have transformed the management of unstable hip fractures by offering enhanced stability and controlled compression compared to traditional intramedullary systems. Designed with a dual integrated screw mechanism, the Intertan nail provides superior rotational control of the femoral head fragment while evenly distributing mechanical forces. This reduces the risk of common complications such as screw cut-out, varus collapse, and loss of fixation, especially in osteoporotic bone. The system also allows for precise, gradual intraoperative compression, promoting optimal fracture contact and supporting biological healing without excessive collapse. Improved construct stability gives surgeons greater confidence in permitting early weight bearing, which is essential for elderly patients to reduce complications like pneumonia, pressure sores, and muscle wasting. With user-friendly instrumentation and reproducible outcomes, Intertan nails represent a significant advancement in orthopedic implant technology, delivering both mechanical reliability and better clinical results in the treatment of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures.
