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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Proximal Femoral Nail Type I – Double Lag Screw is intended for internal fixation of:
Stable and unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures
Subtrochanteric femoral fractures
Proximal femoral fractures associated with osteoporotic bone
Pathologic fractures requiring internal fixation
The patient is positioned supine on a fracture table under general or spinal anesthesia.
A small lateral incision is made over the greater trochanter to establish access for intramedullary nail insertion.
Closed or open fracture reduction is performed under fluoroscopic guidance as appropriate.
The pre-contoured nail is inserted into the femoral intramedullary canal following fracture reduction.
The double lag screws are advanced into the femoral head to provide rotational control and axial support.
Distal interlocking screws are inserted to provide additional fixation and control rotational and telescoping movement of the construct.
The incision sites are closed following completion of the fixation procedure, followed by application of sterile dressings.
Early mobilization may be initiated according to the surgeon's assessment. Partial or full weight-bearing is determined based on fracture stability, fixation, and the patient's clinical condition. Follow-up imaging can be used to monitor fracture healing and implant position.
The nail system is manufactured from TC4 titanium alloy, combining high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
The dual lag screw configuration provides enhanced rotational control and axial stability compared with a single-screw fixation configuration.
The pre-contoured nail is designed to correspond to the anatomy of the proximal femur, facilitating nail positioning and insertion.
The screw threads are designed to provide effective bone purchase while helping to reduce the potential for cut-out and migration.
The Proximal Femoral Nail Type I – Double Lag Screw combines a double lag screw fixation concept, TC4 titanium alloy construction, pre-contoured nail geometry, and a targeting system for the management of proximal femoral fractures. Its fixation configuration is designed to provide rotational control and axial stability while supporting minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Note: I have deliberately removed or softened claims such as “high clinical success rates,” “rapid bone healing,” “reduced complications,” and “faster patient recovery,” because the supplied material does not provide clinical data to substantiate those outcomes. This keeps the product page professional while avoiding unnecessarily strong medical claims.
