Antegrade Proximal Femoral Nail

Femoral shaft fractures are high-energy injuries, and intramedullary nailing is their reference treatment for a reason. A nail sits on the mechanical axis of the bone, shares load with the fracture rather than shielding it, and lets the patient load the leg early — the factors that make union fast and predictable in the shaft region.

The antegrade approach enters at the proximal femur and follows the canal distally, keeping the surgical insult away from the fracture site itself. Diameter is matched to the reamed canal, and locking screws secure rotation and length at both ends. Entry point selection, reaming strategy and locking configuration remain with the operating surgeon.

The nail is introduced over a guide wire from the proximal entry portal, seated to the planned depth, and locked proximally and distally through the targeting jig. All nails in the range are four hundred millimetres long; the three diameters cover the usual reamed canal sizes, and the supplementary code MT0007140 completes the range.

The full twenty-eight-number range is stocked in the BoneCraft warehouse and ships in original manufacturer packaging, with lot references recorded on the shipment documentation.
