The Expert Lateral Femoral Nail is the new generation antegrade femoral nail, an important component of the new Synthes Expert Nailing System.
The new anatomical nail design allows a more lateral entry point – slightly lateral of the tip of the greater trochanter – which is easy to find surgically and minimizes the damage to the gluteus muscle attachment.
Key Features & Benefits
| – | Optimal lateral entry point: easier and safer access to entry site, less soft tissue damage, lower risk of avascular necrosis |
| – | Anatomical nail design: easier insertion and extraction |
| – | Recon and standard locking options: expanded indications, increased stability in subtrochanteric fractures |
| – | Multiplanar distal locking: increased stability in more distal fractures |
| – | Part of the Expert Nailing System: shorter learning curve, easier surgical procedure due to streamlined instrumentation, cost-efficient owing to common implants and instruments |
Indications
- Standard locking indications:
- Femoral shaft fractures – 32-A/B/C (except subtrochanteric fractures 32-A [1–3].1 and 32-B [1–3].1)
- Recon locking indications:
- Femoral subtrochanteric fractures – 32-A [1–3].1 and 32-B [1–3].1
- Ipsilateral femoral shaft and neck fractures – 32-A/B/C combined with 31-B
