Antegrade Femoral Nail
High-quality Intramedullary Nail for Bone Fracture Fixation
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)
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.
Antegrade Femoral Nail Specification
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
Unique distal locking options
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.
End caps
Self-retaining Screw driver for effortless and secure end cap pick-up and insertion
Possibility to block most proximal locking screw (antegrade) for absolute angular stability
End cap prevents ingrowth of tissue and facilitates nail removal
Locking screws
The 6.4 mm Cannulated Lag Screws have a unique thread design that provide an excellent grip. Improved front cutting flutes allow for lesser insertion torque and thinner flanks for less bone removal.
Secure placement of the Lag Screws within small neck diameters can be achieved due to separating the two 6.4 mm lag screws and distance between the 6.5 mm Lag screws.
The distal locking configuration features a round and an oblong hole to allow for static and / or dynamic distal locking.
5 mm cortical screws, common to the Femoral Recon Nails, are designed to simplify the surgical procedure and promote a minimally invasive approach.
Self-holding Screw driver for effortless and secure locking screw pick-up.
Double thread for more contact points leading to enhanced stability
Larger cross-section for improved mechanical resistance
Thread closer to screw head providing better bone purchase and improved stability
Self-holding Screw driver for effortless and secure locking screw pick-up
