Advantages of the Suprapatellar Approach
● Needle insertion in knee extension reduces deforming stress caused by quadriceps traction.
● Easier to maintain reduction of proximal fractures.
● No need for extensive manipulation of the injured limb.
● Easier to identify the entry point.
● Protects the proximal tibial cortex.
● Reduces the incidence of postoperative knee pain.
● Proximal Design (14 mm) with Innovative Locking Mechanism, 5 Holes in 4 Directions
● Dual-core threading on proximal locking screws increases screw strength.
● Continuous long-curved contour reduces pressure on the medullary canal during implantation and matches the anatomical structure of the Chinese population.
● Dual-line threading on locking screws increases contact area and holding strength.
●Ultra-distal design (5 mm), 4 Holes in 3 Directions, ensures basic structural stability.
Proximal Locking:
Multi-plane proximal locking screw design:
● 5 screw holes
● Screws oriented in 4 directions
● 3 cancellous bone screw holes
● 2 standard interlocking holes
Distal Locking:
Multiple distal interlocking options:
● Up to 4 screw holes
● Screws oriented in 4 directions
● 2 transverse and 1 longitudinal interlocking holes
● 1 ultra-distal oblique interlocking hole (dual orientation)
● Ultra-distal hole is only 5 mm from the distal tip of the main nail
● The penultimate locking screw is 13 mm from the main nail tip
