Product Description
The nail is pre-bent with an anatomical curvature to fit the natural shape of the tibial canal, simplifying insertion and providing a close, stable fit.
The nail features multiple proximal and distal locking holes, including oblique and transverse options, allowing for static or dynamic locking to achieve optimal stability for different fracture patterns.
The system is designed to treat a wide range of tibial fractures, including fractures of the shaft as well as select proximal and distal fractures.
The nail is cannulated, which allows for insertion over a guide wire to ensure accurate placement and a minimally invasive surgical technique.
Crafted from a high-quality titanium alloy, the implant offers superior strength, biocompatibility, and fatigue resistance for long-term support and reliable fixation.
The Expert Tibia Nail is primarily indicated for the stable fixation of a wide variety of tibial shaft fractures, including transverse, oblique, spiral, and comminuted fractures.
It is also used for specific fractures in the proximal and distal regions of the tibia, such as tibial plateau fractures and pilon fractures.
The implant is suitable for the treatment of non-unions and malunions of the tibial shaft, providing a stable environment for corrective healing.

The Expert Tibia Nail is a comprehensive intramedullary fixation system designed for the treatment of fractures throughout the tibia. As part of a versatile product line, this system is a reliable solution for a wide range of tibial shaft fractures. Its design combines a high-strength nail with multiple precise locking options, providing a robust internal splint that stabilizes the fractured bone segments and facilitates rapid healing within the medullary canal of the shin bone.
The primary application of the Expert Tibia Nail is for the fixation of fractures of the tibial shaft. This includes simple transverse and oblique fractures, as well as more complex spiral and comminuted fracture patterns.
The nail's design and instrumentation also make it suitable for treating certain proximal and distal tibial fractures, such as in the metaphyseal and articular regions. It can also be used for the corrective fixation of non-unions and malunions.
Its versatility makes it a go-to choice for trauma surgeons who need a single system to address a broad spectrum of tibial fracture types.
The Expert Tibia Nail offers several key advantages. Its anatomical design, with a slight anterior bow and specific proximal and distal bends, provides a perfect fit in the tibial canal, simplifying the surgical technique and ensuring a close, stable fixation. The system's multiple locking options, including oblique and transverse screws, allow the surgeon to achieve a customized fixation pattern tailored to the specific fracture type.
This versatility ensures excellent stability, which is crucial for promoting rapid bone healing and minimizing the risk of non-union. Additionally, the nail facilitates a minimally invasive surgical approach, leading to less soft tissue damage, reduced blood loss, and a faster postoperative recovery for the patient.
The robust material and design ensure the implant can withstand the high biomechanical loads of the lower leg during ambulation, contributing to the long-term success of the fixation.
The biomechanics of the Expert Tibia Nail are centered on providing an internal load-sharing construct within the medullary canal of the tibia. The nail’s position allows it to support the physiological loads of the leg, reducing the stress on the locking screws. The locking screws themselves prevent rotation and shortening of the fracture fragments, providing a stable environment for healing. The nail’s robust design and high fatigue strength ensure it can withstand the cyclic loading forces during patient ambulation, contributing to the long-term success of the fixation.
The implantation of the Expert Tibia Nail is performed via a standard surgical approach, typically through a small incision at the proximal tibia. A guide wire is inserted, and the medullary canal is reamed to the appropriate diameter. The nail is then inserted, and its final position is confirmed with fluoroscopy. Proximal and distal locking screws are then placed through dedicated targeting guides to secure the nail and complete the fixation.
The entire procedure is designed to be efficient and precise, minimizing surgical trauma.
This technique allows for stable, anatomical fixation while preserving the surrounding soft tissues, which is vital for patient recovery.
Following a successful Expert Tibia Nail fixation, a structured postoperative care plan is initiated. Due to the stability of the fixation, patients are often able to begin partial weight-bearing within the first few days post-surgery, with the goal of progressing to full weight-bearing as tolerated. Physical therapy is a crucial component of recovery, focusing on restoring joint range of motion and muscle strength.
Regular clinical and radiographic follow-up appointments are essential to monitor fracture healing and ensure the implant remains stable throughout the recovery process.
This comprehensive care plan is vital for a patient's return to a normal, active lifestyle.
The Expert Tibia Nail is a highly versatile and effective solution for the treatment of a broad range of tibial fractures. Its anatomical design and comprehensive locking options provide surgeons with the tools to achieve stable, customized fixation. By supporting a minimally invasive surgical technique and promoting early patient mobility, the Expert Tibia Nail leads to excellent clinical outcomes, a faster recovery, and an improved quality of life for the patient.
The primary indication is for the fixation of fractures of the tibial shaft, including comminuted, spiral, oblique, and transverse fractures.
Unlike femoral nails, which are designed for the thigh bone, the Expert Tibia Nail is specifically designed for the anatomy of the shin bone, with a unique bend and different locking options to accommodate tibial fracture patterns.
Yes, the Expert Tibia Nail can be used for some proximal and distal tibial fractures, such as tibial plateau fractures and pilon fractures, in addition to shaft fractures.
The nail is made from medical-grade titanium alloy, which offers excellent strength, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion and fatigue.
The Expert Tibia Nail system allows for both static (locked) and dynamic (allowing controlled axial compression) fixation, depending on the fracture pattern and the surgeon's preference for promoting bone healing.
