Product Description
The set includes a specialized inserter that accounts for the radial bow, allowing the nail to be advanced without causing eccentric cortical pressure or loss of forearm rotation.
Equipped with a range of flexible reamers specifically sized for the narrow forearm canals, ensuring accurate preparation without compromising the thin cortices of the radius and ulna.
Features compact targeting arms designed for the small anatomical workspace of the wrist and elbow, providing reliable guidance for distal and proximal locking screws.
Includes specialized cannulated entry awls and soft-tissue protectors that allow for percutaneous nail insertion, preserving the periosteal blood supply and improving aesthetic outcomes.
The set is primarily indicated for transverse, short oblique, or comminuted fractures of the forearm shafts (AO/OTA Type 2R/2U), where intramedullary nailing is preferred over plating.
Specifically indicated for forearm fractures associated with joint dislocations, providing stable internal splinting that allows for early mobilization of the elbow and wrist.
Contains the specialized reaming and alignment tools indicated for revision procedures, allowing the surgeon to restore the radial bow and forearm length.
Indicated for stabilizing fractures caused by metastatic disease or primary bone tumors in the forearm, providing immediate load-sharing support for the radius and ulna.

The Ulna & Radius Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is a comprehensive collection of surgical tools specifically designed for the intramedullary stabilization of the forearm. This system provides the essential interface for treating fractures of the radius and ulna using a minimally invasive nailing technique. The set functions by providing specialized entry awls to access the medullary canal, small-diameter reamers to prepare the bone, and high-precision jigs to guide the placement of locking screws. Unlike larger nail systems, this set is scaled to the delicate anatomy of the forearm, ensuring that every tool—from the nail inserter to the depth gauge—is optimized for precision and ease of use in small-volume surgical sites. Manufactured from medical-grade 17-4PH stainless steel, the set ensures maximum reliability and anatomical accuracy during the reduction of complex forearm injuries.
This instrument set is primarily applied in the surgical treatment of diaphyseal fractures of the radius and ulna, often referred to as "both-bone" forearm fractures. It is an essential application for cases where soft tissue preservation is critical, as it allows for internal fixation through small, percutaneous incisions rather than long open exposures. The set is also applied in the treatment of Monteggia (ulna fracture with radial head dislocation) and Galeazzi (radius fracture with distal radioulnar joint dislocation) injuries. In clinical practice, the set is utilized to restore the radial bow, which is fundamental for maintaining the patient's ability to pronate and supinate the forearm. Additionally, it is applied in pathological fracture management where immediate mechanical stability of the forearm is required for the patient's daily activities.
The primary advantage of the TOOLMED Ulna & Radius Instrument Set is its ability to facilitate "biological" fracture healing through a minimally invasive approach. By avoiding the large incisions required for plating, the set offers a significant advantage in reducing postoperative infection rates and preserving the periosteal blood supply. The anatomical design of the radius-specific inserter is a major advantage, as it ensures the nail follows the natural curvature of the bone without causing iatrogenic fractures. Another advantage is the set’s high-precision targeting jigs, which are compact enough to operate near the wrist and elbow joints. Furthermore, the lightweight construction of the instruments provides the surgeon with tactile feedback during nail insertion, a key advantage when dealing with the narrow medullary canals of the forearm.
Biomechanically, the instrument set facilitates a load-sharing internal scaffold that is specifically optimized for the torsional and axial forces experienced by the forearm. The targeting jigs are precisely calibrated to place locking screws in positions that maximize the nail's stability against rotational forces, which is essential for maintaining fracture reduction. The reaming system is biomechanically designed to create a canal that allows for an ideal "press-fit" within the narrow isthmus of the radius and ulna. By ensuring the accurate placement of the nail, the instruments help maintain the radial bow and interosseous space, which are biomechanically critical for the full range of forearm rotation. This stability allows for earlier functional rehabilitation and reduces the risk of hardware-related joint stiffness.
The surgical technique begins with establishing an entry point (the radial styloid for the radius or the olecranon for the ulna) using the set's specialized cannulated awl. A guide wire is advanced through the fracture site, and the medullary canal is prepared using small-diameter flexible reamers. The appropriate forearm nail is mounted to the dedicated inserter and advanced under fluoroscopic guidance. The targeting jig is then attached to the inserter to guide the placement of proximal and distal locking screws. The set's small-scale depth gauge ensures accurate screw length selection. The technique concludes with the placement of an end cap using the set's specialized driver to prevent bony ingrowth and facilitate future hardware removal if necessary.
Postoperative care for the instrument set involves a strict protocol of manual cleaning and high-temperature sterilization. After each procedure, all instruments must be disassembled; the small-diameter reamers and cannulated sleeves require meticulous cleaning with specialized fine-wire brushes to remove all biological debris. All components are then sterilized in a steam autoclave at 134°C. For the facility, it is critical to regularly inspect the small targeting arms for alignment accuracy and to ensure the reaming tools remain sharp. Proper maintenance of the Ulna & Radius set ensures that its high-precision tolerances are preserved, guaranteeing surgical accuracy for future forearm reconstruction cases.
The TOOLMED Ulna & Radius Intramedullary Nail Instrument Set is an indispensable system for the modern management of forearm trauma. By providing the precision required for anatomical restoration and minimally invasive fixation, this system ensures that surgeons can achieve stable results while preserving soft tissue integrity, leading to superior functional recovery of forearm rotation and strength.
Yes, the set includes a range of nail sizes and corresponding reamers that are suitable for adult forearm anatomy as well as older pediatric patients where intramedullary nailing is indicated.
While the handle may be universal, the set includes specific targeting arms and attachments for the radius and ulna to account for their different entry points and anatomical curvatures.
Our radius-specific inserter is designed to hold the nail in the correct rotational orientation during insertion, ensuring that the pre-contoured bow of the nail aligns with the patient's anatomy.
No, the screws for the forearm system are typically smaller (2.5mm to 3.5mm) to accommodate the smaller diameter of the radius and ulna. The set includes dedicated small-scale drills and drivers for these screws.
Yes, the targeting jigs are designed to be as low-profile as possible, and we offer carbon-fiber reinforced options that ensure minimal interference during fluoroscopic checks.
