The leading way to optimal stability

Key Features & Benefits

PFNA blade

–	Rotational and angular stability achieved with one single element.
–	Compaction of cancellous bone: additional anchoring to the PFNA blade, which is especially important in osteoporotic bone.
–	Increased stability caused by bone compaction around the PFNA blade retards rotation and varus collapse.
–	Biomechanical tests demonstrated a significantly higher cut-out-resistance of the PFNA blade.
–	All surgical steps required to insert PFNA blade are done through the lateral incision.

PFNA nail

–	The design has been proven effective more than 200,000 times with the PFNA nail and guarantees an optimal fit in the femur.
–	The PFNA instrumentation offers the possibility of static or dynamic locking for standard and small size nails.
–	For long PFNA there is also the option of using a secondary dynamic locking slot.
–	The flexible tip eases insertion and avoids stresses at the tip of the PFNA.
–	The medial-lateral angle of 6º allows insertion at the tip of the greater trochanter.

Indications

The PFNA with a well-proven design is indicated for fractures involving the proximal femur.

PFNA

–	Petrochanteric fractures (31-A1 and 31-A2)
–	Intertrochanteric fractures (31-A3)
–	High subtrochanteric fractures

PFNA long

–	Low and extended subtrochanteric fractures
–	Ipsilateral trochanteric fractures
–	Combination fractures (in the proximal femur)
–	Pathological fractures
