Designed by Trauma Surgeons for Use by Every Surgeon
In collaboration with leading traumatologists, Zimmer designed a titanium nail system incorporating a natural anatomic design for femoral and tibial fractures. The advantages of this innovative approach include: the ability to treat different sizes of patients, minimally invasive implantation, and easy insertion.
The Sirus® Nail System is designed for reamed and unreamed intramedullary femoral and tibial surgical techniques. Femoral and tibial instrumentation is provided in a single, easily accessible tray.

Femoral Nails While many Intramedullary nails come in different sizes and have an anterior bow, Zimmer’s anterior bow has a radius proportional to the length of the nail. The Sirus Femoral Nail mimics the natural bone contour, minimizing the risk of insertion-related complications. The nail’s optimized anatomical share – with antecurvature and lateralization – allows easy insertion through the tip of the greater trochanter. Tibial Nails A 4° anterior bend¹ in the distal portion of the Sirus Tibial Nail helps ease insertion and assists the surgeon in the placement of interlocking screws in order to stabilize a variety of metaphyseal fracture patterns near the joint. The runner-shaped tip allows the implant to slide freely along the posterior cortex of the canal to facilitate nail insertion using a reamed or unreamed technique. The proximal curvature of the nail as well as the alignment, position, and locking options of the proximal multi-planar locking holes helps in treatment of complicated fractures.

Notes
- The anterior bend in the distal portion of the tibial nail varies depending on the length of the nail. The average bend is about 4°
