CytroFIX® Proximal Femur Nails
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.
