femur fracture intramedullary nail
The femur fracture intramedullary nail is a medical device designed for the internal fixation of femoral fractures. Its main function is to stabilize the fractured bone, allowing for proper alignment and healing. Technological features include a hollow, cylindrical design made from high-grade surgical steel, which is inserted into the marrow canal of the femur. This design promotes load sharing and reduces the risk of bone damage. The intramedullary nail is equipped with locking screws that provide rotational stability and prevent shortening or displacement of the fracture. Its applications range from simple transverse fractures to complex, comminuted fractures, making it a versatile option for orthopedic surgeons.
