The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 15 mm × 40 cm (BX/1) is a high‑performance orthopedic implant engineered to deliver robust intramedullary fixation for adult femoral shaft fractures. Designed with a large 15 mm diameter and extended 40 cm length, this femoral locking nail provides excellent axial load sharing and structural support, making it ideal for managing severe trauma and complex fracture patterns. Its cannulated design facilitates guidewire‑assisted insertion, giving surgeons precise control over alignment while minimizing soft‑tissue disruption — a significant advantage in contemporary trauma and reconstructive procedures.

Built to support demanding clinical needs, the Russell‑Taylor nail features proximal and distal interlocking holes that accept locking screws to enhance axial, rotational, and length stability during the bone‑healing process. This interlocking configuration helps maintain proper femoral alignment, reduces the risk of malrotation or shortening, and supports controlled fracture compression — essential factors in achieving strong biomechanical integrity and predictable bone union in complex femoral injuries.

Ideal for hospital trauma centers, orthopedic specialty clinics, and surgical teams, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail combines trusted design with surgeon‑friendly features that help optimize patient outcomes. Supplied sterile in a single‑use box (BX/1) and compatible with standard locking screw systems and surgical instrumentation, this implant provides clinicians with the confidence and control needed for successful femoral fracture repair and accelerated recovery pathways.
