CytroFIX® Proximal Femur Nails — proximal femoral nail

CytroFIX® Proximal Femur Nails

Intramedullary nail system for proximal femur fractures including intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures.

Specialties

Orthopedics & Trauma

Key Features

  • The nail is designed to be placed within the femoral canal, providing centrally anchored stability for proximal femur fractures.
  • Intramedullary fixation often reduces soft tissue disruption compared to extramedullary devices.
  • Manufactured from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI) for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, superior biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance.
  • Minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and supports a conducive environment for fracture healing.
  • Features a proximal bend tailored to the natural curvature of the femur, improving fit and stability in both intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric regions.
  • Reduced implant protrusion helps minimize soft tissue and trochanteric bursa irritation.

High-Purity Titanium Constructs for Proximal Femoral Fracture Stabilization

The CytroFIX® Proximal Femur Nails by Cytronics (an INVAMED orthopedic division) deliver robust, anatomically adapted fixation for proximal femoral fractures. Crafted from high-purity titanium, these intramedullary nails address a wide spectrum of femoral neck, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures—combining a streamlined implant profile with variable locking options to maximize patient comfort and accelerate healing.

Intramedullary Stability

  • The nail is designed to be placed within the femoral canal, providing centrally anchored stability for proximal femur fractures.

  • Intramedullary fixation often reduces soft tissue disruption compared to extramedullary devices.

High-Purity Titanium Construction

  • Manufactured from medical-grade titanium (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI) for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, superior biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance.

  • Minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and supports a conducive environment for fracture healing.

Anatomically Contoured Proximal Geometry

  • Features a proximal bend tailored to the natural curvature of the femur, improving fit and stability in both intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric regions.

  • Reduced implant protrusion helps minimize soft tissue and trochanteric bursa irritation.

Locking & Blade Options

  • Multiple locking holes in the proximal segment accommodate cancellous lag screws, helical blades, or locked bolts, addressing a variety of fracture patterns.

  • Distal screw placements enable static or dynamic fixation, supporting progressive load transfer as the fracture heals.

Versatile Indications

  • Intended for proximal femur fractures (femoral neck, intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric), osteotomies, and certain revision scenarios.

  • Helps stabilize complex and comminuted fractures in geriatric or trauma settings.

Contraindications

  • Active local or systemic infection, severe bone loss preventing reliable fixation, or other medical conditions precluding intramedullary nailing.

  • Surgeons must evaluate individual patient anatomy, bone quality, and fracture complexity.
