Trochanter intramedullary nail Galileo™

The AOS Galileo Trochanteric Nail System combines the mechanical advantage of a long nail with the ease of use of a short nail. With an aging population more active than ever, the rate of hip fractures and surgical fixation has and will continue to increase substantially over the next several years. Along with this increase of hip fracture volume and coupled with the sizeable expansion of trochanteric nail usage versus side plates, we predict (by sure volume alone) a measurable increase of associated complications. Therefore, streamlining the surgical techniques and avoiding these complications are becoming increasingly more relevant. Thus, the ES nail was created in efforts to be a proactive instead of reactive solution.
