Zimmer ITST™ Intertrochantric/Subtrochantric Intramedullary Nail System
The Functional Fit
The ITST Intramedullary Nail System is designed to treat unstable,
comminuted, proximal fractures of the femur, specifically, the
intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric regions. The ITST design is truly
versatile in offering the combined features of intramedullary nail and hip
screw systems.
Natural Proximal Geometry
-
Construct is a high strength stainless steel alloy, 22-13-5, which
allows the implant more design freedom, while maintaining adequate
implant strength.
-
Proximal geometry features a bone conserving diameter of 16.5mm.
-
Accommodates an 11mm Lag Screw, providing a high level of proximal
bone-implant interface.
-
The height of the proximal nail diameter combined with a short
transition region allows for easy insertion of the Lag Screw across
the femoral neck, without the concern of the nail sitting too proud
or too deep in the bone.
True Anatomic Design
-
Proximal design features an anatomic 5° Lateral Bend, which allows
for the less invasive trochanteric starting point to be utilized.
-
Inserted into the femoral head at 130°, the most common angle used
in gliding nails.
-
15° anteversion of the proximal holes for easier passage of the nail
down the femoral canal, and simpler distal freehand targeting.
-
Range of distal diameters accommodates anatomic fit.
