Expert Humeral Nail: locking with spiral blade or screws The range of indications for the Expert Humeral Nail includes humeral shaft fractures down to approx. 5 cm proximal to the olecranon fossa with closed epiphyseal lines (AO/ASIF classification: A–C) for: – Stable or unstable fractures – Refractures, some fractures with delayed healing and pseudoarthroses The Expert Humeral Nail can be inserted into the humeral shaft in both antegrade and retrograde directions. It can be used universally for either the left or right humerus. Expert Proximal Humeral Nail: standard locking with spiral blade The range of indications for the Expert Proximal Humeral Nail includes humerus fractures in adults in the subcapital area (AO/ASIF classification: A2, A3), or with concurrent avulsion of the greater tuberosity (AO/ASIF classification: Extra-articular bifocal fractures B1, B2, B3) for: – Stable or unstable fractures – Refractures, some fractures with delayed healing and pseudoarthroses In certain cases, this technique can also be suitable for proximal articular fractures (AO classification: C fractures), provided that the domed head fragment is large enough and that it is not itself fractured. The Expert Proximal Humeral Nail is inserted antegrade into the proximal humeral shaft and can be used universally for either the left or right humerus.
