Tibial Fracture
Conditions
Brief summary
This prospective, single-arm Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) study, utilizing a registry-based control group, will assess the Verus frame's effectiveness in achieving precise tibial rotation and alignment during intramedullary nailing procedure, as well as safety of the device. The results will be compared to AO-approved criteria to ensure comprehensive evaluation of its new benefits, regulatory compliance, and continued clinical use. Tibial intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for tibial fracture fixation, where accurate alignment and rotation are crucial for optimal recovery and long-term outcomes.
Interventions
Verus is used during tibial intramedullary nailing surgery.
