PRECICE Max
PRECICE Max Intramedullary Nail
Next-generation PRECICE nail designed for greater length capacity and durability.
How it works
PRECICE Max extends the PRECICE platform with increased length and strength. First US cases were performed in late 2023. Clinical data is still accumulating; long-term outcomes will be comparable to PRECICE 2 for most patients.
