The Leg Screw for PFN Nail, Dia 8.0mm is a critical component of the Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) system, designed to anchor the nail into the femoral head and neck to stabilize proximal femur fractures. This screw has a large, distinct 8.0mm diameter and is engineered to provide controlled sliding and dynamic compression across the fracture site, promoting healing. It is inserted through the main PFN nail body and features a smooth shaft followed by a cancellous thread pattern.
Key features include:
-
System Specificity: Used exclusively with the PFN Intramedullary Nailing System.
-
Controlled Sliding: Functions as a lag screw to allow fracture compression.
-
Primary Use: Proximal fixation and stabilization of the femoral neck and head.
-
Fixed Diameter: Diameter of 8.0mm.
-
Length Range: Extensive lengths from 50mm to 120mm (with 5mm variation).
-
Material Options: Available in both Stainless Steel and Titanium.
