ONE PRODUCT FOR TWO INDICATIONS










Y-STRUT® is an implantable medical device indicated for internal fixation of proximal femur of patients at risk of osteoporotic fracture and for impeding pathological fracture. It is composed of 2 cannulas in PEEK (polyetheretherketone) polymer. It is intended to the biomechanical reinforcement of the proximal femur. Y-STRUT® is combined with PMMA bone cement to allow bone anchoring.

TRAUMATOLOGY INDICATION


Y-STRUT® is indicated for contralateral percutaneous internal fixation of proximal femur, in patient with a low energy pertrochanteric fracture on the first side.
It is implanted during the same anaesthesia than the hip fracture treatment.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE


Y-STRUT® is implanted by minimally invasive surgery. Only 2 small incisions are performed on the thigh. It is inserted in the proximal femur thanks to an instrumentation specifically developed for a safe implantation.

Y-STRUT® reinforces the biomechanical performance of the proximal femur.
