  Injuries of the musculoskeletal system can be extremely traumatic and often require specialized products to help hold the injured area together until it can heal properly. Orthopedic surgeons use trauma products to help place broken bones, joints, and muscles back into place. There are a variety of supplies that are used during orthopedic surgeries and all of them allow for stabilization of bones and joints.
  
  

Orthofix Femoral Nailing System

• An injury to the femur bone needs immediate immobilization. The Orthofix Femoral Nailing System is used to stabilize the bone, allowing it time to heal properly. The system is usually used to treat traumatic fractures and allows the surgeon to properly place screws directly into the injured bone tissue.
  
  

Fragment Fixation System

• Fragment Fixation Systems are used to pin together bones that are broken into small fragments. The system is used on all sized bones and works by compressing the bone fragment back to the rest of the bone. Over time the fragmented piece will fuse to the other bones and the injury will heal.
  
  

PreFix Fixator

• The PreFix Fixator is used by orthopedic surgeons who need to stabilize a complex fracture quickly. The product offers rapid and dependable stabilization of bones and is especially useful on fractures of the lower extremities. After insertion of the screws the system allows the patient to move around without risk of additional injury.
