Medtech company Stryker is expanding its Gamma4 hip fracture nailing system with the addition of an intermediate nail, the RC lag screw, and an anti-rotation clip with sleeve components.
Since the Gamma4 system launched in August 2022, it has been used in more than 19,000 cases at 850 facilities nationwide, according to a Jan. 17 news release shared with Becker's.
Gamma4 is used for the treatment of stable and unstable fractures and the stabilization of bones and correction of bone deformities in the intracapsular, trochanteric, subtrochanteric and shaft regions of the femur.
The new intermediate nail and RC law screw earned FDA clearance in June. The additions offer a 15% increase in cutout resistance, 2 millimeters of additional surface area contact with the femoral head, an intermediate nail option that allows for faster procedural time and an anti-rotation clip for better intraoperative stability, according to the release.
