Abstract
Summary: The Surgical Implant Generation Network (SIGN) Hip Construct was developed to treat patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures without the aid of fluoroscopic imaging. It is an intramedullary device inserted through the tip of the greater trochanter, using a lateral incision. Fracture fixation and compression are achieved using a single proximal interlocking screw and 2 compression screws inserted along the anterior and posterior walls of the greater trochanter into the femoral head. Beta sites have been established for clinical use of the SIGN Hip Construct and early clinical outcomes are promising. Each procedure is reported to the SIGN database with x-rays, which allows for immediate feedback and progressive innovation.
