TST Pediatric Telescopic Nail
The Telescopic Nail from TST improves children’s quality of life. The state-of-the-art telescopic structure does not have an impact on the epiphysis, provides anti-rotational stability, and allows for children's bone development.
- Manufactured from stainless medical steel in accordance with ISO 5832-1 standards.
- The nail consists of a D-profile male part and a corkscrew-tipped female part with a design suitable for the former.
- The D profile can be cut during a surgical procedure. For this reason, there is a nail size for each diameter.
- At the distal end of the male nail, there is a specially designed corkscrew tip that provides maximum attachment to the bone and minimal damage to the growth cartilages.
- Thanks to the cancellous threads located proximal to the female nail, stronger stabilization is achieved with the help of half-threaded screws, and the forward movement of the female telescopic nail is prevented.
- Maximum fixation is ensured by the Kirschner wires that can be sent to the grooves located on the distal end of the male nail.
- Male and female nails are fixed distally and proximally behind the growth plate of the bone, in the epiphysis.
Indications
The nail is suitable for use in children aged 18 months and older with a diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta. In addition, it is used in long bone deformity correction, fracture stabilization, lengthening with external fixators, prevention of fracture formation, and treatment of osteoporotic bones in children.
