Intramedullary Nail

Intramedullary nails are load-sharing implants inserted into the medullary canal to stabilize long-bone fractures from within, offering an alternative to plate fixation in diaphyseal injuries. As a category they support internal fixation of the femur, tibia, humerus and other long bones, aligning the fracture along the mechanical axis.

Nails are typically titanium alloy or surgical stainless steel, paired with locking screws that control rotation and length to form a statically or dynamically locked construct. Cannulated designs and varied diameters and lengths suit different anatomies and canal dimensions.

Procurement teams select by anatomical site, canal diameter, length, locking configuration and material. Implants under ISO 13485 and carrying CE marking help hospitals ensure traceability across trauma inventories.
