The Square Nail for Radius is a specialized, rigid intramedullary implant used for the fixation of fractures in the shaft of the radius (forearm bone). Its defining feature is its square cross-section , which is designed to provide excellent rotational stability within the relatively small and curved radial canal, without requiring traditional interlocking screws. This nail is typically inserted from the wrist or elbow end of the bone and provides stable, load-sharing fixation.

Key features include:

• Square Cross-Section: Provides rotational stability and fits snugly within the radial canal.

• Intramedullary Fixation: Offers stable, load-sharing fixation.

• Primary Use: Stabilization of diaphyseal fractures of the radius.

• Material: Available only in Stainless Steel (implied by the code table).

• Multiple Diameters: Available in 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, and 3.5mm.

• Length Range: Lengths range from 200mm up to 300mm.
