The Proximal Femoral Nail Type I – Double Lag Screw is an intramedullary fixation system designed for proximal femoral fractures, including intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. Its double lag screw configuration provides enhanced rotational control and axial stability, supporting secure fracture fixation. The system is also designed to accommodate minimally invasive surgical techniques, helping to limit soft tissue disruption during nail insertion.
Key Features & Advantages
Enhanced Stability
The double lag screw configuration helps control rotational displacement of the femoral head while providing axial and torsional support for fracture fixation and postoperative mobilization.
High Surgical Efficiency
The pre-contoured nail and dedicated targeting system facilitate nail insertion and alignment. Its minimally invasive design is intended to reduce soft tissue disruption and simplify the surgical procedure.
Reliable Fixation
Optimized screw thread patterns are designed to provide effective bone purchase and help reduce the risk of screw cut-out or migration. The titanium alloy construction combines mechanical strength with biocompatibility.
Versatile Application
The system is designed for a range of proximal femoral fracture patterns, including stable and unstable intertrochanteric fractures, and supports the surgical techniques specified for the system.
Patient Recovery
The minimally invasive insertion approach helps limit soft tissue trauma and may support reduced postoperative discomfort and earlier mobilization. Weight-bearing and rehabilitation can be progressed according to the surgeon's assessment and the patient's clinical condition.
