Gamma3 intramedullary nail (Stryker)
The Gamma3 nail is cannulated for Guide-Wire-controlled insertion, and features a conical tip for optimal alignment with the inner part of the cortical bone. A single distal Locking Screw is provided to stabilize the nail in the medullary canal and to help to prevent rotation in complex fractures.
Sliding Hip Screw
The sliding hip screw is a single larger diameter partially threaded screw, which is affixed to the proximal femur with a side plate (with a minimum of two holes and a maximum of four holes) and no supplemental fixation.
