Biomet
Peritrochanteric Nail (PTN) System
Biomet Trauma...Providing Innovative Solutions
For A Variety Of Hip And Femoral Fractures
The Peritrochanteric Nail System provides four lag screw options and
a range of nail lengths—for optimal flexibility of technique. Biomet
Peritrochanteric Nail (PTN) System is indicated for the treatment of
fractures of the femur including: non-comminuted and comminuted
midshaft fracture, subtrochanteric fracture, distal third fracture,
combination fractures of the shaft and neck, intertrochanteric fracture,
and combination intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures.
The Biomet Peritrochanteric Nail (PTN) System is also indicated for
osteotomies, reconstructive procedures following tumor resection,
revision procedures where other treatments or devices have failed, and
arthrodesis. Not for sale in Canada.
One Surgeon. One Patient.
Over 1 million times per year, Biomet helps one surgeon
provide personalized care to one patient.
The science and art of medical care is to provide the right
solution for each individual patient. This requires clinical
mastery, a human connection between the surgeon and
the patient, and the right tools for each situation.
At Biomet, we strive to view our work through the eyes of
one surgeon and one patient. We treat every solution we
provide as if it’s meant for a family member.
Our approach to innovation creates real solutions that assist
each surgeon in the delivery of durable personalized care
to each patient, whether that solution requires a minimally
invasive surgical technique, advanced biomaterials or a
patient-matched implant.
When one surgeon connects with one patient to provide
personalized care, the promise of medicine is fulfilled.
Short and Extra Short Peritrochanteric Nails
• An effective alternative to conventional compression hip
screws, particularly for unstable fractures
• A 6° proximal bend facilitates accurate and easy nail insertion
• Pre-assembled setscrew within the nail facilitates
intra-operative efficiency by eliminating the potential for
loss of setscrew in soft tissue
• Small, 15.9mm proximal outer diameter lessens bone removal and minimizes adverse effects on the abductor function
• Offers a single, elliptical hole distally that will allow either static or dynamic locking
• 128° valgus angle enables optimal anatomic restoration of the femoral neck

• Flexibility—either dynamic locking (single screw) or static locking
• Pre-assembled setscrew within the nail facilitates intra operative efficiency by eliminating the potential for loss of

• Small, 15.9mm proximal outer diameter lessens bone removal and minimizes adverse effects on the abductor function
• An optimal 1.8m radius of curvature in the A/P plane, with 9°
of anteversion
• 128° valgus angle enables optimal anatomic restoration of the femoral neck
Lag Screws
• A
vailable in multiple options with lengths ranging from 65 to
120mm, in 5mm increments
• A 128° lag screw trajectory meets the optimal anatomic neck angle and reduces extensive inventory requirements
Pre-assembled Setscrew
Forked setscrews are pre-installed in all
Peritrochanteric Nails. Their function is to capture the
lag screw in the nail.
• R
everse buttress threads enable efficient advancement into
the femoral head, but limit advancement of the lag screw
into the acetabulum
• Telescoping lag screws offer an atraumatic soft tissue sleeve
that allows the lag screw to slide under compression due to
fracture collapse, without impinging the lateral soft tissue
• K
eyed telescoping lag screw minimizes femoral head rotation
by limiting lag screw rotation inside the atraumatic soft
tissue sleeve
• S
olid sliding lag screw enables healing by allowing fracture
collapse; flats shaft design allows it to slide
• A
Solid fixed lag screw (based upon specific indication),
yields a single, stable, non-sliding construct – the flats
designed into the shaft hold the lag screw into position
when the setscrew is fully engaged
• The combination of the lip on the lateral aspect of all lag
screws and the pre-assembled setscrew limits the
“Z Effect” from occuring post surgery
