Hansson Pin System

Introduction

The Hansson Pin system, designed by Professor Lars Ingvar Hansson at the University of Lund in Sweden, was developed from research into the effects of osteosynthetic devices on the blood supply to the femoral head. Specifically developed for the treatment of intracapsular femoral neck fractures, 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.

 

Twenty years of successful clinical studies carried out (6 theses and more than 70 published articles) has enhanced the Hansson Pin System to its current form.

Features & Benefits

Minimum bone interference

Creates minimum disruption to cancellous bone, and no additional fixation points are required in the femoral shaft. Reduces the risk of avascular necrosis, reduces the risk of secondary fracture
 
Minimum surgical trauma

Their smooth profile allows the pins to slide into place without turning or hammering. This minimises disruption to the blood supply and the consequent danger of avascular necrosis.

 

Short procedure

Simple instrumentation and uncomplicated procedure allow fixation to be achieved within an average of 15 minutes. The procedure lends itself to spinal anaesthesia.
