The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 15 mm × 38 cm (BX/1) is a clinical‑grade orthopedic implant engineered to deliver robust internal stabilization for adult femoral fractures. Designed with a substantial 15 mm diameter and an extended 38 cm length, this femoral nail provides superior axial load sharing and mechanical support across a broad spectrum of fracture patterns — from standard shaft breaks to complex distal and subtrochanteric configurations. Its cannulated design enables precise guidewire‑assisted insertion, helping surgeons achieve accurate alignment and secure fixation with minimal soft‑tissue disruption compared to traditional open techniques.

Built to support demanding clinical requirements, the Russell‑Taylor femoral nail incorporates strategically placed locking interfaces for interlocking screw accommodation, which reinforces axial, rotational, and length stability throughout the fracture‑healing process. This interlocking configuration aids in maintaining proper biomechanical alignment, reducing the risk of malrotation, shortening, or implant migration — all crucial factors in restoring limb function and facilitating early rehabilitation. The nail’s design is consistent with the long‑established Russell‑Taylor concept, supporting reliable performance in varied anatomical and fracture scenarios.

Ideal for trauma centers, orthopedic specialty hospitals, and surgical teams, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail combines trusted implant design with surgeon‑friendly features that enhance procedural confidence and patient outcomes. Supplied sterile in a single‑use box (BX/1) and fully compatible with standard locking screw systems and instrumentation, this intramedullary solution offers clinicians the durability, stability, and versatility needed to manage complex femoral fractures with precision and predictability.
