Product catalog summary

Overview: The Gamma3™ Nail System by Stryker is a titanium-based system designed for treating various femoral fractures, including stable and non-stable intertrochanteric, sub-trochanteric, and pathological fractures. It is made from a titanium alloy with Type II anodization, providing a stable construct that supports early weight bearing.

Specifications:

Target Angles: 120°, 125°, 130°
Anteversion: 0° for Trochanteric, 10° for Long Nail
Proximal Diameter: 15.5mm
Distal Diameter: 11mm (Trochanteric), 11, 13, 15mm (Long Nail)
Lengths: 180mm (Trochanteric), 280-480mm (Long Nail)
Lag Screws: Self-tapping, 10.5mm diameter, 75-120mm lengths
Distal Screws: Fully or partially threaded, 5mm diameter, 25-120mm lengths
Material: Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)

Key Features:

Designed for both stable and non-stable intertrochanteric fractures.
Suitable for younger or smaller patients where bone removal is a concern.
Alternative to compression hip screws, potentially reducing trauma through a closed operating technique.
Limited incision at the greater trochanter may result in minimal blood loss and reduced operative time.
Early weight bearing is typically allowed due to the stable construct.

Instrument Trays:

Basic Instrument Tray: Includes T-Handle, K-Wire, Screwdriver, Nail Holding Bolt, Targeting Arm, and various sleeves and guides.
Optional Instrument Tray: Includes K-Wire for Condyle Screws, Guide Pin, Conical Reamers, Cannulated Cutter, and other specialized tools.

Procedures and Recommendations:

Surgeons should rely on their clinical judgment when selecting treatments and procedures.
Product availability may vary based on local regulatory and medical practices.

Clinical References: The document references multiple studies and papers presented at international symposiums, highlighting the effectiveness of the Gamma™ Nail System in various clinical settings.
