The Expert Femoral Nail is a comprehensive intramedullary fixation system engineered for the treatment of various femoral fractures. Unlike nails designed exclusively for the hip, this versatile system is primarily indicated for fractures of the femoral shaft, but its advanced design also makes it suitable for certain fractures in the subtrochanteric and supracondylar regions. The nail's anatomical curvature and multiple locking options provide superior stability and a secure fit within the medullary canal.
Expert Femoral Nail
Product Description
The nail is pre-bent with an anatomical curvature and a trapezoidal cross-section to match the natural shape of the femoral canal, which simplifies insertion and provides a close, stable fit.
Both the proximal and distal ends of the nail feature multiple locking holes, allowing for static or dynamic locking to achieve optimal stability for different fracture patterns.
The system is designed to treat a wide range of femoral fractures, including fractures of the shaft as well as select subtrochanteric and supracondylar fractures.
The nail is cannulated, which allows for insertion over a guide wire to ensure accurate placement and a minimally invasive surgical technique.
Crafted from a high-quality titanium alloy, the implant offers superior strength, biocompatibility, and fatigue resistance for long-term support and reliable fixation.
The Expert Femoral Nail is primarily indicated for the stable fixation of a wide variety of femoral shaft fractures, including transverse, oblique, spiral, and comminuted fractures.
It is also used for specific fractures in the subtrochanteric and supracondylar regions of the femur.
The implant is suitable for the treatment of pathological fractures and impending pathological fractures of the femur.

The Expert Femoral Nail is a comprehensive intramedullary fixation system designed for the treatment of fractures throughout the femur. Unlike nails specifically for the proximal or distal ends, this system is a versatile solution for a wide range of femoral shaft fractures. Its design combines a high-strength nail with a variety of precise locking options, providing a robust internal splint that stabilizes the fractured bone segments and facilitates healing.
The primary application of the Expert Femoral Nail is for the fixation of fractures of the femoral shaft. This includes simple transverse and oblique fractures, as well as more complex spiral and comminuted fracture patterns.
The nail's design and instrumentation also make it suitable for treating subtrochanteric fractures and select supracondylar fractures in the distal femur. It can also be used for the prophylactic fixation of impending pathological fractures.
Its versatility makes it a go-to choice for trauma surgeons who need a single system to address a broad spectrum of femoral fracture types.
The Expert Femoral Nail offers several key advantages. Its anatomical design, with a slight bend and a trapezoidal cross-section, provides a perfect fit in the femoral canal, reducing stress on the bone and implant. This anatomical match simplifies the surgical technique and can improve long-term outcomes.
The system's multiple locking options, including both proximal and distal screws, allow the surgeon to achieve static or dynamic fixation tailored to the specific fracture pattern. This versatility ensures excellent stability, which is crucial for promoting rapid bone healing and minimizing the risk of non-union.
Additionally, the Expert Femoral Nail facilitates a minimally invasive surgical approach, leading to less soft tissue damage, reduced blood loss, and a faster postoperative recovery for the patient.
The biomechanics of the Expert Femoral Nail are centered on providing an internal load-sharing construct. The nail’s position within the medullary canal of the femur allows it to support the physiological loads of the leg, reducing the stress on the locking screws. The locking screws themselves prevent rotation and shortening of the fracture fragments, providing a stable environment for healing. The nail’s robust design and high fatigue strength ensure it can withstand cyclic loading forces during patient ambulation, contributing to the long-term success of the fixation.
The implantation of the Expert Femoral Nail can be performed via an antegrade (from the hip) or retrograde (from the knee) approach, depending on the fracture location and surgeon preference. A small incision is made, and the medullary canal is reamed over a guide wire. The nail is then inserted, and its final position is confirmed with fluoroscopy. Proximal and distal locking screws are then placed through dedicated targeting guides to secure the nail and complete the fixation. The entire procedure is designed to be efficient and precise, minimizing surgical trauma.
Following a successful Expert Femoral Nail fixation, a structured postoperative care plan is initiated. Patients are often able to begin partial weight-bearing within the first few days post-surgery, with the goal of progressing to full weight-bearing as tolerated. Physical therapy is a crucial component of recovery, focusing on restoring joint range of motion and muscle strength. Regular clinical and radiographic follow-up appointments are essential to monitor fracture healing and ensure the implant remains stable throughout the recovery process.
The Expert Femoral Nail is a highly versatile and effective solution for the treatment of a broad range of femoral fractures. Its anatomical design and comprehensive locking options provide surgeons with the tools to achieve stable, customized fixation. By supporting a minimally invasive surgical technique and promoting early patient mobility, the Expert Femoral Nail leads to excellent clinical outcomes, a faster recovery, and an improved quality of life for the patient.
The primary indication is for the fixation of fractures of the femoral shaft, including comminuted, spiral, oblique, and transverse fractures.
Unlike PFNA and INTERTAN nails, which are primarily designed for proximal femoral fractures (near the hip), the Expert Femoral Nail is specifically designed for fractures of the femoral shaft, though it can also be used for certain proximal and distal fractures.
Yes, the Expert Femoral Nail can be used for some supracondylar fractures of the distal femur, particularly when a retrograde insertion technique is used.
The nail is made from medical-grade titanium alloy, which offers excellent strength, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion and fatigue.
The Expert Femoral Nail system allows for both static (locked) and dynamic (allowing controlled axial compression) fixation, depending on the fracture pattern and the surgeon's preference for promoting bone healing.
