Smith+Nephew’s new TRIGEN™ MAX Tibia Nailing System represents a major leap forward in orthopedic trauma care, introducing several industry-first design features tailored to both surgeons and patients. Most notably, it is the only tibial nailing system to offer side-specific (right and left) nails—an anatomical innovation that ensures optimized screw trajectories, better fragment fixation, and reduced soft tissue irritation. Coupled with low-profile and headless screw options, this system brings a more personalized and refined approach to treating stable and unstable tibial fractures, including shaft injuries.

Engineered with surgical efficiency in mind, the TRIGEN MAX system includes a two-piece modular drop system that improves visibility and usability when employing ancillary instruments, as well as a 12.5 mm channel reamer designed to maintain entry point integrity and protect surrounding soft tissue. The system also integrates 5.0 mm lag screws that compress fractures in a single insertion step—streamlining the procedure and reducing intraoperative complexity. These features together create a surgeon-centric experience that enhances precision, speeds up workflow, and minimizes procedural complications.

Backed by over two decades of success from the TRIGEN family of nails, the MAX Tibia Nailing System is poised to become a new standard in lower extremity trauma care. Its ability to address complex fractures with reproducible outcomes makes it not just a device, but a complete surgical platform. As Smith+Nephew expands its trauma solutions portfolio, this launch underscores the company’s commitment to improving surgical outcomes and recovery experiences for patients through cutting-edge, adaptive technology.
