Stryker expanded its Gamma4 Hip Fracture Nailing System with the addition of an intermediate nail, the RC Lag Screw and an anti-rotation clip with sleeve components. Since its launch in 2022, Gamma4 has been used in over 19,000 cases across more than 850 facilities.
Gamma4 is indicated for the treatment of stable and unstable fractures, as well as for stabilization of bones and correction of bone deformities in the intracapsular, trochanteric, subtrochanteric and shaft regions of the femur (including osteoporotic and osteopenic bone). The recent line extension, including the Gamma4 intermediate nail and RC Lag Screw, received 510(k) clearance in 2023.
Key features include:
- Increased cutout resistance: The Gamma4 RC Lag Screw increases cutout resistance by 15% compared to the standard Gamma4 lag screw.1,2
- Increased fixation: The RC lag screw blades allow for 2mm of additional surface area contact within the femoral head compared to the standard Gamma4 lag screw.3
- New intermediate nail option: Designed to provide more isthmus support than a trochanteric nail and faster procedural time compared to a long nail.3,4
- Controlling intraoperative rotation: The anti-rotation clip and sleeve components provide intraoperative stability in rotationally unstable femoral head neck fragments.
