Retrograde Nailing
The PMPL's Retrograde Femoral Nailing System is a comprehensive system of implants designed for treating various femur fractures. The system offers implants in different lengths and diameters to match the patient's individual anatomy. The Retrograde Femoral nail is utilized to provide stable internal fixation, with screws placed through the nail to secure the implant and maintain length and alignment during the healing processRetrograde Nailing

Product Features:
- Retrograde approach: The system allows for a retrograde approach, offering stable internal fixation for femoral fractures.
- Left/Right Specific: The implants are designed specifically for left or right femurs.
- Anatomic bend: The nail features an anatomic bend, facilitating ease of insertion and extraction.
- End caps: The system includes end caps with a self-retaining Stardrive recess, enabling effortless and secure end cap pick-up and insertion. The end cap prevents tissue ingrowth and aids in nail removal.
- Angular stability: The end caps also allow for blocking the spiral blade or the most distal (retrograde) or most proximal (antegrade) locking screw, ensuring absolute angular stability.
- Flexibility: The system incorporates a new design that offers great flexibility.
- Titanium alloy: The nails are made of titanium alloy, providing improved mechanical and fatigue properties.
- Cannulation: All nails are cannulated, allowing for guided insertion in both reamed and unreamed techniques.
- Large portfolio: The system offers a wide range of nail diameters (from 9.5 mm to 12.0 mm) and lengths (from 180 mm to 400 mm).
- Versatile locking configuration: The nails feature a versatile locking configuration, including options for static, dynamic, standard, and spiral blade locking.
- Distal combination hole: The unique distal combination hole allows for optimal locking based on the anatomical situation and fracture type.
- Locking choices: Surgeons can choose between spiral blade locking (with one spiral blade and one locking screw) or standard locking (with two locking screws) during the surgical procedure.
- Angular stable locking: The end cap with self-retaining Stardrive recess ensures angular stable locking of the most distal locking implant in both configurations.
- All Locking Screws: The system includes locking screws with a double thread, providing more contact points for enhanced stability.
- Larger cross-section: The locking screws have a larger cross-section for improved mechanical resistance.
- Thread closer to screw head: This feature offers better bone purchase and improved stability.
- Self-holding Stardrive recess: The self-holding Stardrive recess allows for effortless and secure locking screw pick-up.
- Titanium alloy: The locking screws are made of titanium alloy, offering improved mechanical and fatigue properties.
- Adapted locking screw diameter: The locking screw diameter is adapted to the nail diameter.
