The Femoral Proximal Interlocking Nail (PFN & TFN) system is a comprehensive solution for treating various fractures of the proximal femur, including trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. These nails are inserted into the intramedullary canal of the femur to provide a strong, load-sharing internal splint. The system offers two primary designs: the PFN (Proximal Femoral Nail) and the TFN (Trochanteric Femoral Nail), catering to different fracture patterns and surgical philosophies. The interlocking mechanism ensures rotational and axial stability. The nails are offered with a 135-degree neck-shaft angle in both short and long versions, including specific left and right options for optimal anatomical fit.
Key features include:
-
Dual System Offering: Includes both PFN and TFN designs for versatile fracture management.
-
Intramedullary Fixation: Provides highly stable, load-sharing fixation.
-
Primary Use: Fixation of complex fractures of the proximal femur, notably trochanteric and subtrochanteric types.
-
Neck-Shaft Angle: Features a 135-degree neck-shaft angle, common for these fracture patterns.
-
Multiple Diameters: Available in 9.0mm, 10.0mm, 11.0mm, and 12.0mm.
-
Wide Length Range: Short nails range from 180mm to 250mm; Long nails range from 340mm to 440mm.
