OrthoXel announced FDA 510(k) clearance to market the Vertex Hip Fracture Nail (HFN). Vertex HFN offers an alternative approach to fracture fixation, addressing challenges such as instability, which leads to high cutout rates, limited patient mobility post-surgery, persistent pain during recovery and nonunion complications.
Two proximal interdigitating screws produce enhanced screw fixation. The radially fluted nail stem is designed to ensure rotational and overall construct stability, particularly in the intertrochanteric and metaphyseal regions of the femur.
Three proximal construct options accommodate various fracture types, patient anatomies and intra-operative requirements. Surgeons can choose between two interdigitating lag screw configurations, with inferior or superior screw placement or, alternatively, a solid lag screw is available for a conventional proximal construct.
Both implants and instruments feature radiographic guides and cues that allow for enhanced visualization during surgery.
