Wright Medical Technology, Inc. Introduces CONCISE(TM) Compression Hip Screw System.ARLINGTON, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 16, 1995--Wright Medical Technology, Inc. introduces the CONCISE(TM) Compression Hip Screw System, a new generation, trauma specific product that provides cost effective quality patient care. The system is designed to provide a surgeon with a "working set" to manage proximal femur femur (fē`mər): see leg. fixation. The "working set" design gives the surgeon all the implants and tools needed to repair proximal femur fractures. The CONCISE(TM) Compression Hip Screw System has simple time saving instrumentation and a selection of implants that will save the hospital from purchasing excess, unnecessary inventory. This system in conjunction with the Medoff four and six hole sliding plates, can manage any indicated proximal femur fracture. Some of the features include: Low Profile Design: The low profile components are designed to minimize the possibility of soft tissue irritation which may reduce the risk of trochanteric bursitis Trochanteric bursitis is inflammation of the trochanteric bursa. This bursa is situated adjacent to the femur, between the insertion of the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles into the greater trochanter of the femur and the femoral shaft. . Stability: The placement and number of screw holes is maximized without compromising the strength of the plate. This will allow the surgeon an increased number of fixation points fixation point n.

This attention to detail allows precise reproducible reaming, tapping and lag screw insertion.
