CytroFIX® Intramedullary Tibia Nail
High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Tibial Fracture Stabilization
The CytroFIX® Intramedullary Tibia Nail by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) is designed to address a wide spectrum of tibial fractures—from proximal and mid-shaft to distal segments. Engineered from high-purity titanium, this intramedullary nail provides enhanced structural support, minimal soft tissue disruption, and versatile locking options that accommodate both simple and complex fracture patterns.
Intramedullary Stability
- Inserted within the tibial canal for direct load-sharing, often minimizing the need for extensive soft tissue dissection.
- Offers a stable fixation method for high-energy fractures, comminuted patterns, and segmental defects.
High-Purity Titanium Construction
- Crafted from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI), known for superior strength, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance.
- Lightweight design reduces the risk of stress shielding, supporting more natural healing.
Optimized Nail Geometry
- Anatomical curvature aligns with the natural tibial canal, aiding in easier insertion and a more secure fit.
- Proximal and distal ends feature low-profile design elements to limit soft tissue irritation.
Locking Versatility
- Proximal and distal locking options accommodate static or dynamic fixation, variable hole alignments, and additional oblique angles for distal tibia fractures.
- Surgeons can choose multi-planar locking screws to secure stable constructs for complex fracture lines.
Broad Clinical Indications
- Suitable for tibial shaft fractures, segmental fractures, certain proximal or distal metaphyseal fractures, nonunions, and osteotomies requiring intramedullary support.
- Often used in acute trauma settings (open or closed fractures) and in revision surgeries when extramedullary fixation has failed.
Contraindications
- Inadequate canal diameter or shape preventing proper nail seating, active local or systemic infections, or patient comorbidities that contraindicate intramedullary fixation.
- Conditions like severe osteoporosis, compromised vascular supply, or extensive bone loss should be evaluated carefully by the treating surgeon.
