The UAA-M U-shaped Nail is a titanium-alloy sports medicine implant for selected bone and soft-tissue fixation procedures around the knee. It is commonly positioned for tibial-side fixation during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction workflows.
The implant has a 6 × 20 mm specification. Its U-shaped structure, sharpened spike feet and anti-slip sawtooth features are designed to support fixation at the bone interface. The widened contact surface helps distribute contact stress across the fixation area.
UAA-M is made from titanium alloy, providing a high-strength and non-magnetic implant material. The surgeon selects the implant according to the patient's anatomy, graft or soft-tissue configuration, fixation plan and applicable surgical technique.
