Meril KET SS Shaft Tibia nail

KET SS Shaft Tibia (SSTN) has the following features: 

  • One dynamic and two static transverse locking holes proximally. 
  • Two transverse locking holes and additional AP locking hole distally. 
  • Flat proximal bend for easier insertion, better fit. 
  • Beveled proximal end to prevent soft tissue irritation. 
  • Tip Locking option to cater to distal third fracture as well.

Indication

Surgery

Femur fractures with bony support (stable fracture in the middle third of the femur, with or without locking):

  • Transverse fractures
  • Short oblique fractures
  • Pseudarthroses

Femur fractures without bony support (unstable fracture in 60% of the femoral length):

  • Fractures near the metaphysics
  • Long torsional fractures
  • Segmental fractures
  • Comminuted fractures
  • Fractures with bone defects
