Introduction
Over the past decades antegrade
and retrograde femoral nailing have
become widely accepted choices for
the treatment of femoral fractures.
The T2 Recon nail is one of the first
femoral nailing systems to offer a
greater trochanter entry point with
both recon and antegrade locking
options.
Through the development of a
common, streamlined instrument
system and intuitive surgical approach,
both in principle and in detail, the T2
Recon Nail offers the potential for
more efficient treatment of fractures
as well as simplifying the training
requirements for all person nel
involved.
Furthermore, the T2 Recon Nail offers
the following competitive advantages:
• Versatility - offers the ability to
switch from antegrade to a recon
option without changing either
the nail or targeting arm.
• Recon Set Screw - this optional
screw sets the most proximal
Lag Screw thus minimizing
the potential for screw sliding
(Z-effect).
• Locking Options - distal options
include dynamic as well as static.
• Distal Targeting - eliminates the
need for freehand locking of either
the static or dynamic modes.
Requires optional Gamma3/T2
Recon DTS R2.0
The T2 Recon Nail is the realization
of excellent biomechanical intrame-
dullary stabilization for internal
femoral fixation with several locking
options to address fracture variability.
As with all other T2 Nails, the T2
Recon Nail is made of Type II
anodized Titanium Alloy (
Ti6Al4V)
for enhanced biomechanical and
biomedical performance*.
The T2 Recon Nail features a 125°
CCD angle with a 10° anteversion
angle. The 2 proximal holes, each
utilize 6.5mm cannulated Lag
Screws. This
CCD angle
allows easy
insertion of the 2 lag screws into the
femoral head.
Alternatively a proximal 70° Oblique
hole with 7° retroversion provides
a 5mm Fully Threaded Screw for
targeting the lesser trochanter in the
Femoral Antegrade mode.
The 6.5 mm Cannulated Lag Screws
have a unique thread design that
provide an excellent grip. Improved
front cutting flutes allow for lesser
insertion torque and thinner flanks for
less bone removal.
Secure placement of the Lag Screws
within small neck diameters can be
achieved due to 10mm separating the
two 6.5mm lag screws or 17mm outer
distance between the 6.5mm Lag screws.
Two Set Screws are available:
-
Recon
Set Screw: Tightens the
6.5mm proximal Lag Screw (Recon
Mode) and
- Antegrade Set Screw: Tightens the
oblique 5mm Fully Threaded Screw
(Femoral Antegrade Mode).
Available as left and right versions,
the T2 Recon Nail incorporates an
antecurvature radius of 2.0M, as
well as a 4° medial lateral bend for
trochanteric insertion.
The distal locking configuration
features a round and an oblong hole to
allow for
static and / or dynamic
distal locking.
Low profile 5mm cortical screws,
common to the T2 Nailing System,
are designed to simplify the surgical
procedure and promote a minimally
invasive approach.
5mm Fully Threaded Locking Screws
are available for distal locking (Recon
or Femoral Antegrade Mode) and
for the proximal locking in Femoral
Antegrade Mode.
End Caps are available in various
lengths to provide a better fit.
