Case Study: Left Intertrochanteric Fracture Treated with Intertan Intramedullary Nail in Peru

1. Why was an Intertan Intramedullary Nail chosen for this intertrochanteric fracture in Peru?

The patient was an 82-year-old woman with limited bone quality and a left intertrochanteric fracture. The Intertan Intramedullary Nail offers an integrated cephalomedullary design and dual cephalocervical screws, providing strong rotational stability and controlled compression at the fracture site, which is ideal for early mobilization in geriatric hip fracture patients.

2. What are the main advantages of the CZMEDITECH Intertan Intramedullary Nail in this case?

The CZMEDITECH Intertan Intramedullary Nail combines dual cephalocervical screws with a tapered and polished nail tip. This design increases passage smoothness in the medullary canal, reduces soft-tissue damage, improves resistance to implant loosening, and helps achieve reliable bony union in unstable intertrochanteric fractures.

3. How did the integrated instrument set support the surgery in Santa Rosa Municipal Hospital?

The dedicated Intertan Intramedullary Nail instrument set from CZMEDITECH provides precise guides, reamers and targeting devices. This integrated design simplified intraoperative steps, ensured accurate screw placement under fluoroscopy and contributed to a smooth surgical workflow for Dr. Carlos Rivera’s team.

4. What was the postoperative outcome of this elderly patient in Lima?

After closed reduction and Intertan Intramedullary Nail fixation, the patient achieved stable fracture fixation and early functional recovery. Pain was significantly relieved, limb alignment was restored and follow-up imaging confirmed good position of the implant and progressive fracture healing.

5. Is the Intertan Intramedullary Nail suitable for other types of hip fractures?

The Intertan Intramedullary Nail is mainly indicated for stable and unstable intertrochanteric fractures and certain subtrochanteric fractures of the femur. Its cephalomedullary design allows it to address complex proximal femoral fracture patterns, but the final indication should be evaluated by the orthopedic surgeon according to each patient’s anatomy and bone quality.

6. How does dual cephalocervical screw fixation improve stability in intertrochanteric fractures?

Dual cephalocervical screws increase the contact area in the femoral head and neck, enhance control over rotation and varus collapse and allow controlled compression across the fracture line. This helps maintain reduction and reduces the risk of implant cut-out or loss of fixation in osteoporotic bone.

7. What material is used for the cephalic screws in the CZMEDITECH Intertan system?

The cephalic screws in the CZMEDITECH Intertan Intramedullary Nail system are made of high-strength titanium alloy. This material offers excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and long-term fatigue strength, reducing the risk of late implant wear or adverse reactions.

8. Can CZMEDITECH provide customized sizes or complete sets for distributors and hospitals?

Yes. CZMEDITECH offers a full range of Intertan Intramedullary Nails and matching instruments. According to local clinical demand, distributors and hospitals can select standard sizes or discuss customized specifications and set configurations to meet their orthopedic trauma surgery needs.

9. What perioperative considerations are important for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures?

For elderly patients, it is essential to control comorbidities such as hypertension, optimize anesthesia risk, minimize surgical trauma and start early mobilization under protection. Stable internal fixation with an Intertan Intramedullary Nail supports early weight-bearing and helps reduce complications related to prolonged bed rest.

10. How can this Peruvian case support international customers evaluating CZMEDITECH hip fracture solutions?

This Lima, Peru case demonstrates that the CZMEDITECH Intertan Intramedullary Nail can provide reliable fixation and good outcomes in real clinical practice. For international distributors and hospitals, such global case reports help build confidence in product performance, instrumentation quality and technical support from CZMEDITECH.
