Product Description
The Expert Femoral Nail enables the surgeon to stabilize subtrochanteric femoral fractures, ipsilateral neck/shaft fractures, femoral shaft fractures, impending pathological fractures, malunions and nonunions.
One system for retrograde and antegrade technique
One system for left and right femur
Anatomic bend for ease in insertion and extraction
Cannulation of all nails for guided insertion in reamed and unreamed technique
Large portfolio with nail diameters ranging from 9.0 to 11.0 mm and lengths ranging from 320 to 440 mm
Versatile locking configuration for static, dynamic, standard and spiral blade locking
Self-retaining Stardrive recess for effortless and secure end cap pick-up and insertion
Possibility to block spiral blade or most distal (retrograde) or most proximal locking screw (antegrade) for absolute angular stability
End cap prevents ingrowth of tissue and facilitates nail removal.
Double thread for more contact points leading to enhanced stability
Larger cross-section for improved mechanical resistance
Thread closer to screw head providing better bone purchase and improved stability
Self-holding Stardrive recess for effortless and secure locking screw pick-up
Titanium alloy TAN for improved mechanical and fatigue properties
Adapted locking screw diameter to nail diameter
Optimal hold in osteoporotic bone by increased surface area
Angular stable locking by end cap
Titanium alloy TAN for improved mechanical and fatigue properties

The physician’s education, training and professional judgement must be relied upon to choose the most appropriate device and treatment.
Any active or suspected latent infection or marked local inflammation in or about the affected area.
Compromised vascularity that would inhibit adequate blood supply to the fracture or the operative site.
Bone stock compromised by disease, infection or prior implantation that can not provide adequate support and/or fixation of the devices.
Material sensitivity, documented or suspected.
Obesity. An overweight or obese patient can produce loads on the implant that can lead to failure of the fixation of the device or to failure of the device itself.
Patients having inadequate tissue coverage over the operative site.
Implant utilization that would interfere with anatomical structures or physiological performance.
Any mental or neuromuscular disorder which would create an unacceptable risk of fixation failure or complications in postoperative care.
Other medical or surgical conditions which would preclude the potential benefit of surgery.
