Overview
Polarus Locking Humeral Rod
For over a decade, Acumed’s innovative Polarus Humeral Rod System has provided excellent fracture stability - and a minimally invasive procedure - for proximal humerus fractures, once called the last “unsolved” fracture in orthopaedics.
Approved Indications
- 2, 3, and some 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus.
Key Features
Key Features
- Fracture stability: Acumed’s patented spiral array of locking screws provides multi-planar fracture fixation.
- Minimally invasive: With straightforward and accurate targeting, our cannulated intramedullary humeral nail is inserted percutaneously in a minimally invasive procedure — reducing OR time and resulting in less scarring for the patient.
- Anatomic restoration: Combining proper rod and screw placement with an anatomic bend and taper, the Polarus Humeral Rod acts as a scaffold to restore the patient’s anatomy.
- Tapered profile: The rod’s tapered profile and nine-degree lateral bend ease insertion and minimize stress concentrations — reducing the risk of a peri-prosthetic fracture.
- Polarus Cap: The Polarus Cap prevents bony ingrowth to ease implant removal, if required.
- Comprehensive instrument tray: The system’s comprehensive tray contains all necessary instruments — including calibrated drills, drill guides and an easy-to-assemble radiolucent target guide.
- Rod size: 150mm.
