It contains the nailing instruments set, the spare parts, the different sizes of reamers, screws and nails (=implants).
When making an initial order for the Gamma nail, one of each set should be ordered which corresponds to the management of 40 patients. Established trauma centers may need to order more implants depending on the consumption.
Instructions for use
Used for intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures of the femur.
Article to be justified
Only orthopedic surgeons are allowed to use this set.
There has to be a certain number of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures being admitted and treated in the trauma center to justify its order since not all trauma centers admit and treat these type of fractures.
