MultiLoc Proximal Humeral Nail
– Cannulated nails in right and left
designs, 8.0 mm and 9.5 mm diame-
ters, and 160 mm length, to ensure
optimal fit in the canal
– Straight nail for central insertion
point, to avoid potential insertion
through the fracture site, increasing
biomechanical stability
Angular Stable Locking System ASLS
(optional)
Improved fixation in poor bone quality.

* Comparative testing was conducted by Synthes
with the MultiLoc Humeral Nail construct
implanted in polyurethane foam block material of
multiple densities. Static bend testing was
conducted to compare the stability of the nail
construct with and with out the secondary 3.5 mm
locking screws assembled with the proximal
lateromedial (LM) screws. The static bending force
was applied to the test constructs in an eccentric,
mediolateral direction.Testing was conducted with
the test sample constructs implanted in foam block
material with densities of 5.5 pcf (pounds per
cubic foot), 7.5 pcf, and 10 pcf. Failure was
defined as varus collapse of 10 mm or cutout of
the proximal screws. Results showed as much as a
45% increase in construct stability when the

support to the calcar

fixation
secondary 3.5 mm locking screws were assembled
with the proximal LM screws and the construct
was subjected to the static mediolateral bending
force. Test results showed that in 10 pcf foam
material, the MultiLoc Humeral Nail construct
failed at 315 N (mean) with secondary locking
screws assembled with LM screws vs. 230 N
(mean) without secondary locking screws. In 7.5
pcf foam material, the construct failure occurred at
141 N (mean) with secondary 3.5 mm locking
screws vs 123 N (mean) without secondary 3.5 mm
locking screws. In 5.5 pcf foam material, the
construct failed at 137 N (mean) with secondary
3.5 mm locking screws vs. 94 N (mean) without
secondary 3.5 mm locking screws.
