The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 16 mm × 44 cm (BX/1) is a premium orthopedic intramedullary implant engineered to deliver robust, load‑sharing fixation for complex adult femoral fractures. Designed with a substantial 16 mm diameter and extended 44 cm length, this reconstruction nail provides exceptional axial strength and biomechanical support, making it ideal for femoral shaft and subtrochanteric fracture repair procedures. Its cannulated, interlocking design allows for guidewire‑assisted insertion and precise canal alignment, helping surgeons achieve efficient operative workflow and reliable stabilization in challenging trauma cases.

Built to meet the demanding requirements of contemporary orthopedic trauma care, the Russell‑Taylor nail features strategically positioned proximal and distal locking holes that accept interlocking screws to enhance both torsional and rotational control throughout the healing process. This interlocking mechanism supports controlled compression at the fracture site — a critical factor in promoting strong fracture union and reducing recovery time in high‑energy injury settings.

Ideal for trauma centers, orthopedic specialty hospitals, and surgical teams focused on femoral fracture management, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 16 mm × 44 cm delivers the durable performance and clinical dependability that surgeons trust. Supplied sterile in a single‑unit box (BX/1) and compatible with standard nailing systems, this intramedullary nail is a reliable cornerstone implant in any advanced orthopedic trauma inventory — helping clinicians optimize patient outcomes in complex femur fracture care.
