The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 15 mm × 42 cm (BX/1) is a precision‑engineered orthopedic intramedullary implant designed to deliver reliable internal fixation for adult femoral shaft fractures. With its 15 mm diameter and extended 42 cm length, this locking nail provides superior axial load sharing and robust mechanical integrity, making it ideal for stabilizing mid‑shaft through distal femoral fracture patterns. Its cannulated design allows for guidewire‑assisted insertion, enabling surgeons to achieve accurate alignment and secure positioning within the medullary canal while preserving soft‑tissue structures — a critical factor in modern trauma and reconstructive surgical workflows.

Constructed for dependable clinical performance, the Russell‑Taylor femoral nail features strategically placed proximal and distal interlocking holes that accept locking screws to enhance axial, rotational, and length stability throughout the healing process. This interlocking configuration supports controlled compression and consistent biomechanical alignment across the fracture site, helping reduce the risk of malrotation or shortening and supporting predictable bone healing and functional recovery.

Ideal for orthopedic trauma centers, hospital surgery departments, and specialized orthopedic clinics, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail combines trusted implant design with surgeon‑friendly features that support efficient procedural execution and improved patient outcomes. Supplied sterile in a single‑use box (BX/1) and compatible with standard surgical instrumentation, this femoral locking nail is a reliable choice for clinicians seeking confidence and control when managing complex adult femoral fractures in demanding operative environments.
