Antegrade Femoral Nail

Specifications - Antegrade Femoral Nail

The Antegrade Femoral Nail is designed to help treat various fractures of the femur. Different nails are available to be placed through the tip of the Greater Trochanter. Screws are placed through the nail to secure the implant in place and maintain length and alignment while healing occurs. The nails have multiple screw holes in the proximal body to allow surgeons to address different fracture types. Proximal and distal slots allow for compression or dynamization across a fracture.


Advanced nail design

  • Antegrade Femoral Nail design offers great flexibility
  • One system for left and right femur
  • Anatomic bend for ease in insertion and extraction
  • Cannulation of all nails for guided insertion in reamed and unreamed technique
  • Large portfolio with nail diameters ranging from Dia 9 to 14 mm and lengths ranging from 280 to 460 mm
  • Versatile locking configuration for static, dynamic and standard locking
  • Femoral Recon Nails available in Titanium and SS 316L

The unique distal combination hole enables the optimal locking for every anatomical situation and fracture type. The surgeon can use standard locking (with two locking screws). The end cap allows for angular stable locking of the most distal locking implant in both configurations.

Sizes and Uses of Antegrade Femoral Nail



Uses

Antegrade Femoral Nail is indicated for fractures in the distal femur. Additionally, Antegrade Femoral Nail is indicated for fractures in the femoral shaft:

  • Combination with fractured patella
  • Ipsilateral femur/tibia fractures (floating knee)
  • Combination with fractured acetabulum, pelvis, or femoral neck
  • Combinations of the fractures mentioned above
  • Pronounced adipositas
  • Pregnancy
  • Polytrauma (if numerous surgical teams are involved in treatment of patient)
