About Y-STRUT®

Y-STRUT® is an implantable medical device indicated to prevent fractures of the proximal femur. It is intended to be used in two clinical indications:

  • Traumatology, for contralateral percutaneous internal fixation of proximal femur, in patient with a low energy pertrochanteric fracture on the first side,
  • Oncology, for percutaneous internal fixation for impending pathological fracture of proximal femur. Act of last resort (ultima ratio).

Y-STRUT® is implanted thanks to a minimally invasive procedure by an orthopedic surgeon or an interventional radiologist.
