The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell-Taylor Tibial Locking Nail 14 mm × 31.5 cm (BX/1) is a robust orthopedic implant engineered to deliver superior intramedullary fixation for adult tibial shaft fractures. Featuring a large 14 mm diameter and a precisely calibrated 31.5 cm length, this locking nail provides exceptional axial load-sharing capacity and mechanical strength, making it ideal for stabilizing complex fracture patterns and supporting early mobilization. Its cannulated design enables guidewire-assisted insertion, facilitating accurate placement deep within the medullary canal while minimizing soft-tissue disruption — a key advantage in modern trauma and orthopedic surgical workflows.

Designed for dependable clinical performance, the Russell-Taylor tibial nail incorporates strategically positioned proximal and distal locking holes to accept interlocking screws that reinforce axial, rotational, and length stability throughout the fracture-healing process. This interlocking configuration helps reduce the risk of malrotation and shortening, supports consistent biomechanical alignment, and contributes to improved long-term outcomes in patients with tibial shaft injuries.

Ideal for hospital trauma centers, orthopedic specialty clinics, and surgical teams, the Smith & Nephew Russell-Taylor Tibial Locking Nail is supplied sterile in a single-use box (BX/1) and integrates seamlessly with standard instrumentation and locking screw systems. Its durable construction, anatomically compatible design, and trusted performance make it a reliable choice for surgeons addressing a wide range of adult tibial fractures — helping optimize surgical precision, enhance patient recovery, and support positive clinical outcomes.
