Humeral intramedullary nail Newton™

proximal fixation

The AOS Newton Humeral Nail System consists of both Short and Long Intramedullary Nails. The system includes a 15cm Short Nail (or Proximal Nail) which offers advanced fixation for 2-, 3-, and some 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus. With a proximal bend of 6 degrees, the AOS short nail is best suited for simple two-part fractures of the proximal humerus involving the surgical neck of the humerus and proximal third humeral fractures without comminution. In these scenarios, the bend facilitates an easier entry portal attainment and nail insertion with an incision just medial to the rotator cuff insertion.
