The GAMMA Intramedullary Nail (PFNA Extra Long) is designed with specific features to address complex femoral fractures, providing stability and promoting healing. Here are its key features:
1.Helical Blade Design:
The PFNA Extra Long nail includes a helical blade that compacts cancellous bone during insertion. This design enhances the anchorage within the femoral head, improving rotational and axial stability, especially beneficial for osteoporotic bone.
2.Extra Long Length:
The "Extra Long" variant is available in extended lengths to accommodate fractures that extend further down the femoral shaft. This provides the necessary support and fixation for subtrochanteric and diaphyseal fractures.
3.Proximal Femoral Nail Design:
It features a proximal femoral nail design that conforms to the natural anatomy of the femur, allowing for better alignment and stabilization of the fracture while maintaining the biomechanics of the hip.
4.Minimal Invasive Surgical Technique:
The PFNA Extra Long allows for a minimally invasive insertion technique. This reduces soft tissue damage, minimizes blood loss, and speeds up the recovery process by preserving the surrounding musculature.
5.Locking Mechanism:
The nail includes a proximal locking mechanism that ensures secure fixation within the femoral head and neck. The locking mechanism allows for controlled impaction and stable fixation, reducing the risk of rotation or collapse.
6.Distal Locking Options:
Multiple distal locking options are available to provide additional stability and prevent rotation of the nail. The locking screws can be inserted in either a static or dynamic mode, depending on the desired stability and fracture type.
7.Anatomical Curvature:
The nail is pre-curved to match the natural bow of the femur, which helps in maintaining the correct anatomical alignment during and after the surgery, reducing the risk of malalignment.
8.Material Composition:
Made from high-strength, biocompatible materials such as titanium alloy or stainless steel, the nail offers durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the human body.
9.Enhanced Stability:
Designed to provide enhanced rotational and axial stability, the helical blade mechanism and distal locking options help prevent common complications such as varus collapse or cut-out.
10.Compatibility with Imaging:
The PFNA Extra Long nail is designed to be compatible with intraoperative imaging systems, aiding in precise placement and alignment during the surgical procedure.
11.Dynamic and Static Locking:
Allows for both dynamic and static locking configurations, providing flexibility to accommodate different types of fractures and healing requirements.
12.Instrumentation:
The PFNA system comes with specialized instrumentation to facilitate accurate insertion, blade placement, and locking screw fixation, improving the efficiency and safety of the surgical procedure.
These features collectively make the PFNA Extra Long an effective solution for managing complex femoral fractures, particularly in cases where additional length and stability are required. The design aims to promote early mobilization and reduce complications associated with femoral fractures.
The GAMMA Intramedullary Nail (PFNA Extra Long) is specifically indicated for certain types of fractures and patient conditions, primarily involving the proximal femur. Here are the main indications for its use:
Subtrochanteric Fractures:
Fractures occurring just below the lesser trochanter of the femur. These are often unstable and can be challenging to treat with other fixation methods due to the high forces exerted in this region during weight-bearing.
Intertrochanteric Fractures:
Especially unstable intertrochanteric fractures that extend into or through the trochanteric region. The PFNA Extra Long provides rotational and axial stability for these fractures.
Fractures Extending into the Diaphysis (Shaft) of the Femur:
Complex fractures that extend from the proximal femur into the femoral shaft, where additional length and support are necessary for proper alignment and healing.
Pathological Fractures:
Fractures caused by bone weakness due to conditions like osteoporosis, bone tumors, or metastases. The PFNA Extra Long is suitable for stabilizing such fractures and providing support in compromised bone quality.
Periprosthetic Fractures:
Fractures occurring around existing hip prostheses where standard length nails may not provide adequate stabilization. The extra length of the PFNA can help manage these complex fractures.
Multiple Fragmentary Fractures:
Fractures with multiple bone fragments, where the intramedullary nail can help achieve proper alignment and stability.
Elderly Patients with Osteoporotic Bone:
Patients with osteoporosis have a higher risk of hip fractures and may benefit from the PFNA Extra Long’s design, which provides enhanced rotational stability and reduces the risk of bone collapse.
Patient-Specific Indications
Patients Requiring Early Mobilization:
Those for whom early mobilization is crucial to prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis or pneumonia. The stability provided by the PFNA Extra Long allows for earlier weight-bearing and mobilization.
High-Energy Trauma:
Suitable for patients who have sustained high-energy trauma resulting in complex fractures of the proximal femur that require robust internal fixation.
This implant is often chosen when a standard-length nail would not suffice due to the extent or complexity of the fracture, or when additional rotational stability is needed.

The PFNA Extra Long is an orthopedic implant used to stabilize fractures of the proximal femur, especially complex fractures that extend further down the femoral shaft. It features a helical blade or screw for enhanced rotational and axial stability.
It is primarily used for complex fractures such as:
Subtrochanteric fractures
Unstable intertrochanteric fractures
Fractures extending into the diaphysis (shaft) of the femur
Minimally invasive procedure
Provides strong internal fixation
Allows for early mobilization of patients
Enhances rotational stability and reduces the risk of fracture collapse
The PFNA Extra Long is designed for fractures that extend further down the femur than those treated by the standard PFNA. It provides the necessary length and stability for these more extensive fractures.
Typically, the nail is made from biocompatible materials like titanium or stainless steel, which are chosen for their strength, durability, and compatibility with the human body.
The nail is inserted through a small incision at the hip. It is guided into the femur's marrow cavity and positioned using imaging techniques. Screws are then used to lock it in place, ensuring stable fixation.
Recovery time can vary depending on the patient's overall health, the complexity of the fracture, and other factors. However, due to the nail's stability, patients are often encouraged to begin early mobilization to speed up recovery.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, and hardware complications such as loosening or breakage. However, these risks are generally low and can be managed with proper surgical technique and postoperative care.
Yes, the implant can be removed after the bone has sufficiently healed. However, this is typically only done if the patient experiences discomfort or other complications, as removal requires another surgical procedure.
Ideal candidates are patients with complex femoral fractures, particularly those with osteoporotic bones or fractures that extend further down the femur. The decision to use this implant is made based on the patient's specific fracture pattern and overall health.
The procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, but the duration can vary based on the complexity of the fracture and the patient's condition.
Most patients are encouraged to start mobilizing soon after surgery, often with the help of physical therapy and assistive devices. The goal is to promote healing and maintain muscle strength.
Generally, the materials used are MRI-compatible, but it's essential to inform the medical team about the implant before undergoing any imaging studies.
