Specifically developed for the treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis, the Hansson Pin system has been designed to minimise surgical trauma to the patient and offer secure, stable fixation with reduced risk of healing complications for all grades of fracture.
Relative Indications & Contraindications Indications Slipped Capital Adult Femoral Neck Fractures Femoral Epiphysis Contraindications Due to a lack of any supportive clinical experience, the Hansson Pin is not recommended for use with paediatric hip fractures. Relative Contraindications The physician’s education, training and professional judgement must be relied upon to choose the most appropriate device and treatment.
By preserving the blood supply, the femoral neck and the head. the Hansson Pin System reduces the risk of unequal bone length. Lasting stable fixation Easy extraction The hook resists loosening of the fixation to the femoral head as the...
Operative Technique Step 1 - Patient Positioning Correct positioning of the patient on the fracture table is essential for avoiding problems and complications during surgery (Fig. 1). Place the patient in supine position on the fracture table. Healthy side: Position the leg on the healthy side with the hip in flexion and slight abduction so that the C-arm can be adjusted intra-operatively for...
Operative Technique Step 2 - Reduction Apply the surgical boot to the foot. Mild traction is applied for the sole purpose of maintaining the leg in the horizontal plane. Additional support under the thigh may be necessary. Rotate the foot internally by 30-60° and fix in position.
Operative Technique Step 3 – Stabilization Guide Wire Insertion When treating unstable (acute) slips a Guide Wire may be used. Using biplanar floroscopy, it is inserted percutaneously in the trochanteric region into the femoral neck and head for intraoperative stabilization. (Fig.
Operative Technique Step 4 – Determining the Incision Point and Implant Position Slipping of the femoral head occurs in a true posterior direction. The Hansson Pin must be positioned in the central part of the femoral head. To achieve this, the pin must be inserted anterior-laterally in the greater trochanter and then directed posteriorly (Fig.
Operative Technique Step 5 – Skin Incision and Guide Wire Insertion Make a 20mm incision at the site where the two lines on the thigh intersect. The insertion point on the anterior-lateral face of the proximal femur is identified at the level of the lesser trochanter (Fig.
Operative Technique Step 6 – Drilling and Measurement Insert the Cannulated Drill over the Drill Sleeve and the Guide Wire. The Drill Sleeve is pressed against the lateral cortex of the femur and the drill is advanced towards the centre of the femoral head (Fig.
Operative Technique Step 7 – Instrument-to-Pin Assembly Verify that the inner pin is completely withdrawn in the window of the outer body and in correct position (Fig. 13). Pass the Inner Introducer through the Outer Introducer and screw it into the Hansson Pin (Fig.
Operative Technique Step 8 – Insertion of the Hansson Pin and Activation of the Hook Insert the Hansson Pin with the Introducer Assembly into the femoral channel which has been pre-drilled. Ensure that the pin is fully inserted. Use fluoroscopy to verify the position of the Hansson Pin.
Operative Technique Step 9 – Instrument Removal Maintain the Outer Introducer in position. Unscrew and then remove the Introducer Handle followed by the Inner Introducer and the Outer Introducer (Fig.18). Close the wound. Fig.18...
Postoperative Regime Bilateral Slips: Stable Slip: Unstable Slip: Periodic X-Ray images should be taken The patient is allowed to start walking The patient is allowed to start walking of both hips to facilitate early detection using crutches and partial weight using crutches and partial weight of contralateral slips.
Operative Technique Pin Removal Step 1 The arrowed end of the Inner Extractor is engaged with the inner pin’s thread and rotated clockwise until it stops (Fig. 18). Step 2 The Outer Extractor is slid over the Inner Extractor until it is in contact with the outer pin (Fig.
