DISTAL FEMORAL NAIL

In the past years, retrograde femoral nailing has proven to be safe and reliable. The Distal Femoral Nail is becoming increasingly popular and is especially suitable for obese (or pregnant) patients and in osteoporotic metaphyseal bone.

Indications include extra-articular metaphyseal distal femoral fractures (32-A1 to C3) and supracondylar fractures and simple articular fractures (33-A1 to A3 and 33-C1 to C3.1).

The Spiral Blade enables significantly more stable distal interlocking than with conventional locking bolts due to the large load-bearing surface. It reduces cancellous bone compaction and lowers the risk of nail protrusion into the knee joint. The nail diameters are 9.0 and 10.0 mm for solid nails and 12.0 mm for cannulated nails.

Lengths range from 160 to 420mm.
