Galaxy Fixation Shoulder

• Simple, standardized and reproducible frame application guided by anatomical landmarks for most common proximal humeral fracture patterns
• Galaxy Shoulder Fixation high stability
• Percutaneous minimally invasive fixation
• Paired, bicortical (subchondral and lateral bone purchase in the humeral head) threaded wires stabilized with Galaxy Shoulder Fixation components
• Wires with 7 cm thread
• Laser marking on the threaded wire to facilitate paired threaded wire insertion – the second wire is inserted to the same depth as the first
• Easy to use and essential instrument set
• Short treatment time (AVG implant removal at 6 weeks)
• Outpatient removal (no second surgery)
• Early passive mobilization and rehabilitation
