The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 13 mm × 44 cm (BX/1) is a professional‑grade intramedullary implant engineered to deliver stable, reliable fixation for adult femoral fractures. With its optimized 13 mm diameter and extended 44 cm length, this femoral nail provides strong axial load sharing and mechanical support, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of fracture patterns from simple mid‑shaft breaks to more complex segmental injuries. Its cannulated design enables guidewire‑assisted insertion, allowing surgeons to position the nail accurately while preserving soft tissue and facilitating minimally invasive surgical techniques.

Designed to meet the demands of orthopedic trauma care, the Russell‑Taylor femoral nail features proximal and distal interlocking holes that accept locking screws to enhance axial, rotational, and length stability during the healing process. This interlocking configuration helps maintain proper biomechanical alignment and supports controlled compression at the fracture site — crucial factors for promoting predictable bone union and early functional recovery. Used by experienced trauma surgeons worldwide, Russell‑Taylor nails have a history of supporting femoral fracture management across diverse clinical scenarios.

Ideal for trauma centers, orthopedic surgical departments, and specialty clinics, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail combines trusted biomechanical design with surgeon‑friendly features that enhance procedural confidence. Supplied sterile in a single‑use box (BX/1) and compatible with standard locking screw systems and instrumentation, this intramedullary solution offers clinicians the durability, precision, and versatility needed to address challenging femoral fractures with efficiency and clinical dependability.
