Polarus 2 Locking Humeral Rod Surgical Technique

The Polarus 2 Locking Humeral Rod is designed to provide fixation for 2-, 3-, and some 4-part fractures of the proximal humerus through a minimally invasive surgical technique. Polarus 2 is a cannulated intramedullary humeral rod that features a tapered profile with a spiral array of proximal screws designed to target the best quality bone. Multi-planar fixation acts as a scaffold, this aids fracture reduction and realignment. One of the additional values of intramedullary rodding compared to competing technologies is its percutaneous approach, designed to minimize soft tissue disruption and support periosteum healing. The Polarus 2 Locking Humeral Rod System is contained in a comprehensive tray including all of the instruments needed to implant the rod and calibrated drills meant to ensure proper screw sizing and eliminate extra surgical steps.
