The Smith & Nephew Richards 122148 Russell-Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 14 mm × 46 cm (BX/1) is a premium orthopedic intramedullary implant engineered for robust stabilization of femoral shaft and subtrochanteric fractures. With its durable 14 mm diameter and extended 46 cm length, this reconstruction nail provides reliable axial support and load sharing suited to the demands of adult trauma surgery. Its cannulated design allows for guidewire-assisted insertion and helps ensure accurate alignment within the femoral canal, facilitating consistent surgical outcomes in high-energy and complex fracture scenarios.

Designed for modern orthopedic practice, the Russell-Taylor femoral nail features strategically positioned proximal and distal interlocking holes that accept locking screws to enhance rotational control and compression at the fracture site. This configuration delivers superior axial and torsional stability during the healing process — a critical factor in restoring patient mobility and reducing time to union. Sterile-packaged in a single-unit box (BX/1), the implant integrates seamlessly into trauma centers, specialty hospitals, and surgical environments that demand precision and reliability.

Trusted by orthopedic surgeons worldwide, the Smith & Nephew Russell-Taylor Femoral Locking Nail is ideal for femoral fracture fixation where strength, anatomical fit, and biomechanical performance are paramount. Whether addressing diaphyseal breaks or more complex subtrochanteric injuries, this intramedullary solution supports confident procedural planning and optimized patient outcomes — making it a cornerstone of any advanced orthopedic trauma inventory.
