Femoral Nailing System has been designed to bring maximum strength to the nail. At the same time, flexibility of the nail has also been taken into consideration:

(a) to facilitate easy insertion

(b) to transmit load to the bone to protect the implant while
     minimising stress protection resorbtion.

(c) To stimulate the natural fracture healing mechanisms by allowing
     adequate motion at the Fracture interface.

The idea behind designing the Femoral Nailing system was to develop a single system that could be used for the widest possible variety of femoral fractures. Primary requirement of the system were that the number of instruments should be kept to minimum and that they should be simple to use. It was also desirable to minimize necessity for a complete size inventory.



Indications:

1. Non-comminuted midshaft fractures.
2. Comminuted shaft fractures.
3. Subtrochanteric fractures.
4. Distal third fractures.
5. Combination fractures of the shaft and neck.
6. Intertrochanteric fractures.
7. Combined intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures.
8. Reconstruction following tumour resection
 


Distal Femoral Locking Nail
 
The Distal Femoral Nail may be recommended for the intramedullary stabilisation of femoral fractures, in which a retrograde approach is indicated, e.g. for obese patients, for pregnant women: for ipsilateral fractures of the femur and the patella as well as the femoral and tibial diaphysis: for patients with implants in the proximal femoral region and patients with existing TKR (depending on its design)

The significangly larger bearing surface provides optimised load distribution, high purchase in osteoporotic bone and a reduced risk of nail protrusion into the knee joint

Indications:

1. Supracondylar femoral fractures
2. Intercondylarfemoral fractures
3. Lower third diaphyseal femoral fractures
