The helical blade is now available in additional lengths of 75 mm, 125 mm and 130 mm. The result is superior life to cut-out versus single screw fixation and reduced bone removal versus a traditional hip screw.
The 11.0 mm Titanium helical blade provides improved resistance to varus collapse and rotational control of the head-neck fracture segment. Additional to the existing diameters of 10 mm, 11 mm and 12 mm, the TFN is now also available in 14 mm diameter. The TFN is available in two sizes, short in lengths of 170 mm and 235 mm, and long in lengths of 300460 mm. The TFN is made of titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-7Nb). The helical blade provides improved resistance to varus collapse and rotational control of the head-neck fracture segment. Additionally, the long TFN is indicated in high and long subtrochanteric fractures, pertrochanteric fractures associated with an injured shaft, pathological fractures (of osteoporotic bone) in both trochanteric and diaphyseal areas, proximal or distal nonunions, malunions, and revisions. It is indicated in stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric, basal neck fractures, as well as a combination thereof.
The TFN is a new cannulated, intramedullary nail system.
