CHARFIX2 tibial nail
CHARFIX2 tibia nail
Due to the introduced improvements the nail shape and the nail entry point have been changed. Therefore, the procedure has become safer for the patient.
Screwing the locking elements at the angle other than perpendicular to the nail axis permits the fixation of complex comminuted fractures.
The instrument set is supplied with two proximal targeting devices that let the surgeon select a method of nail implantation.
Indications:
- tibia shaft fractures;
- proximal epiphyseal fractures;
- tibia shaft fractures undergoing both epiphysis
- pathological fractures;
- pseudoarthrosis, malunion or non-union treated with other methods.

CHARFIX2 retrograde tibial nail
is designed for stable osteosynthesis of the tarsus and distal tibia, for the treatment of degenerations and deformities of the tarsal joints.
INDICATIONS:
- tibio-calcaneal arthrodesis;
- combined arthrodesis of talocrural joint and talocalcaneal joint;
- avascular necrosis of talocrural joint and talocalcaneal joint;
- rheumatoid arthritis;
- severe, secondary deformity of untreated congenital clubfoot (talipes equinovarus) or in case of neuromuscular disease;
- seriously deformed foot/ankle, arthritic deformity of ankle with associated stiffness in the talocalcaneal joint;
- osteoarthritis;
- instability and skeletal defects after tumor resection;
- distal tibia fractures with non-unions;
- tibia and/or talus PLAFOND fracture where reconstruction is not possible;
- severe comminuted fractures with associated damage of talocalcaneal joint;
- fractures, dislocations of the ankle combined with serious arthritic changes and loss of function;
- above-ankle non-union combined with stiffness in the talocalcaneal joint;
- malunion of ankle;
- failed total ankle replacement with talocalcaneal joint intrusion.
CHARFIX2 humeral nail
CHARFIX2 humeral nail is a next generation nail that merges the features of reconstructive and compression nail.
Increased number of holes, their relocation towards the end of the nail and possibility of inserting the locking elements at the angle other than perpendicular to the nail axis – all these significantly broaden the range of indications for use.
Indicatins:
- humerus shaft fractures;
- proximal humerus fractures;
- pathological fractures;
- pseudoarthrosis;
- malunion or non-union treated with other methods.
CHARFIX2 anatomical femoral nail
CHARFIX2 anatomical femoral nail is a next generation nail that is shaped in several planes to better match the femur anatomy. The nail can be inserted through the lateral insertion point.
This makes the implantation easier and results with less trauma to the patient.
The nail enables to fix femur applying static, dynamic, compression or reconstructive intramedullary osteosynthesis.
Instruments included in the instrument set give several options for opening and preparation of the intramedullary canal.
The bone tamping mechanism applied in the two-step drill enables a better stabilization while drilling in the femoral neck.
Indications:
- femur shaft fractures;
- subtrochanteric and intratrochanteric fractures;
- femur neck fracture;
- pathological fractures;
- pseudarthrosis;
- malunion and non-union treated with other methods.

CHARFIX2 condylar retrograde femoral nail
was designed to treat the fractures of distal femur meta-epiphysis with particular emphasis on supracondylar fractures. The pathological fractures can be also treated with CHARFIX2 condylar nail. Its additional advantage is the possibility of supplying diaphysis femur fractures with previously implanted hip or knee endoprothesis.
Nail design and its dedicated locking elements provide the effective fracture stabilization using various locking methods.
Radiolucent targeters included in the instrument set facilitate access to the fracture site from both sides of the injured limb and allow for intraoperative control of the implant position without their removing.
CHARFIX2 nail FN
is a solution when other treatment method failed.
It is made of titanium and its alloys and is used to join femur and tibia at the side of knee resection or partially removed join surface.
INDICATIONS:
- failed knee arthroplasty;
- post-infaction state;
- periprosthetic fractures;
- post-traumatic state excluding knee prosthesis implantation;
- tumors in knee area;
- loss of or damage to the extensor mechanism;
- oncological changes;
- arthroplasty of the knee joint.
