“What takes the TRIGEN MAX Tibia Nailing System to the next level is its ability to reach fractures we never imagined treating with an intramedullary implant before – but we’re there now,” said Joseph R. Hsu, MD, Orthopaedic Trauma Surgeon at Atrium Health in Charlotte, NC. “It’s not just a nail, it’s a platform that allows us to rethink how we approach complex injuries. Most importantly, it makes those treatments reproducible. What’s especially exciting is that the TRIGEN MAX system represents a truly patient-centered approach; from the design of the instruments to the implants themselves, it’s all about optimizing recovery and addressing each patient’s unique anatomy and potential complications.”
