supracondylar nail femur
The supracondylar nail femur is an advanced orthopedic implant designed specifically for treating complex distal femoral fractures. This innovative surgical device combines the mechanical stability of traditional plating systems with the minimally invasive benefits of intramedullary nailing. The nail features a unique anatomical design that mirrors the natural contours of the distal femur, allowing for optimal positioning and enhanced fracture stabilization. Its sophisticated locking mechanism includes multiple distal targeting options, enabling surgeons to achieve secure fixation in both the frontal and sagittal planes. The implant is manufactured from high-grade titanium alloy, offering exceptional biocompatibility and resistance to fatigue. The system includes various nail lengths and diameters to accommodate different patient anatomies, while its specialized instrumentation facilitates precise insertion and placement. Advanced guide systems and targeting devices ensure accurate screw placement, reducing operative time and minimizing radiation exposure during surgery. The supracondylar nail femur has proven particularly effective in treating fractures near the knee joint, complex shaft fractures, and cases requiring revision surgery.
