The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 16 mm × 46 cm (BX/1) is a premium orthopedic implant engineered for powerful intramedullary fixation in complex femoral fractures. With its robust 16 mm diameter and extended 46 cm length, this reconstruction nail excels in providing axial load sharing and biomechanical support where traditional methods may fall short. Its cannulated, interlocking design enables guidewire‑assisted insertion that enhances surgical precision, making it an effective choice for stabilizing femoral shaft and subtrochanteric fracture patterns in adult trauma cases.

Designed to meet the demanding needs of modern orthopedic trauma care, the Russell‑Taylor nail incorporates proximal and distal locking holes that accept standard locking screws to deliver superior torsional and rotational control during healing. This interlocking capability supports controlled compression across the fracture site — a critical factor in promoting efficient bone union and durable fixation. Whether used in high‑energy trauma or reconstruction settings, this nail supports consistent clinical performance.

Trusted by orthopedic surgeons and surgical teams worldwide, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail offers a reliable solution for internal fixation challenges in adult femur injury management. Supplied sterile in a single‑unit box (BX/1), this implant integrates seamlessly into trauma centers, specialty hospitals, and surgical facilities focused on delivering effective fracture healing and positive patient outcomes. Its engineered durability and compatibility with standard nailing systems make it a valuable addition to any advanced orthopedic trauma inventory.
