The Nuna Humeral Nail is cannulated titanium nail with claw mechanism for fixation of fractures of humerus bone. The system is indicated to aid in the alignment and stabilization of humeral fractures, including:
•Diaphyseal fractures of the humeral shaft
•Proximal humeral fractures with diaphyseal extension
•Impending pathologic fractures
Relative Contraindications
The following conditions may present an increased risk of implant failure. It is not meant to be comprehensive. Physicians should use their clinical judgment when determining the appropriate implant and approach for a given patient.
•Active local infection
•Material sensitivity
•Loss of bone stock/insufficient bone quality to support the device
•Cognitive and/or physical impairment that would lead to unacceptable risk of fixation failure
Special Considerations
•Claws perform best when deployed into the cortical bone of the humeral shaft. Care should be taken to avoid deploying Claws through the cortex near the radial/ulnar nerves and other soft tissue considerations.
