The system combines the principles of a compression hip screw with the biomechanical advantage of an intramedullary nail. By combining a proximal 1.8m radius of curvature with a 3° distal bend, the resultant bow is comparable to a proximal 1.5m radius of curvature with a minimal offset. This not only accommodates the anterior bow of the natural femur, but also is designed to help ease insertion through the proximal region and minimise the risk of penetrating the anterior cortex.

The GOAL POST Technology is designed to facilitate visualisation of the femoral neck on the lateral view in order to accurately place the guide pin for the lag screw. The anterior and posterior metal posts on the proximal aspect of the insertion jig allow for an unobstructed fluoroscopic view down to the base of the femoral neck and assist with fine turning of the guide pin before it is fully seated in the femoral head.

The nail is designed to include an anti-rotation (AR) hole, which can be used as a utility hole to provisionally stabilise a fractured femoral neck and head segment during the lag screw placement or for placement of an AR screw, if desired.

The lag screw was designed with a reverse buttress thread pattern, which is intended to provide subchondral support under load, while also helping minimize potential for "cut-off". The lag screw has wide slots or grooves providing the surgeon approximately 15° of adjustment when tightening the set screw. Also, the lag screw has a shoulder which is intended to prevent medial migration.

Optimal nail geometry with unique distal bend aid in placement of the implant within the femoral head and intramedullary canal.

Procedurally oriented tray layout with streamlined and colour-coded instruments to aid in procedural efficiency. 

Extensive range of nail lengths and diameters targeting utility hole and revision option, offering the ability to customise the procedure.
