Gamma 3 Locking Nail
These new nails have a proximal diameter of 15.5mm to help shorten the incision length for minimally invasive surgery while offering the biomechanical strength and cutout resistance of the established Trochanteric and Long Gamma Nails
The Gamma3 Locking Nail System is based on Stryker’s more than 25 years of Gamma Nail experience. This is the third generation of intramedullary short and long Gamma fixation nails. The new system is designed to facilitate minimally invasive surgery through the latest instrumentation and optimized surgical techniques.

- Titanium alloy with Type II anodization (Ti-6Al-4v)
- Designed to address stable and non-stable intertrochanteric fractures
- Option for the younger or smaller patient where bone removal is a concern
- Alternative to compression hip screws
- May reduce trauma to patient through closed operative technique
- Limited incision at the tip of greater trochanter may result in minimal blood loss and potentially less operative time
- Early weight bearing may typically be allowed as a result of biomechanically stable construct
