Product Description
The Pertrochanteric Fixator treats intertrochanteric hip fractures without fracture exposure. Its application reduces operative time and transfusion rates. The stable construct and OsteoTite coated half pins allows early weight bearing with a secure, bone to pin interface.
Indication

Surgeon Benefits
- Minimal incision
- Reduced operative time1
- Reduced pain1
- Reduced blood transfusion rates1
- Maintained neck shaft angle during bone healing2
- Early ambulation1
- Clamp adjusts for variable screw placement
