Apex Femoral Retrograde Nailing System

The Apex Femoral Retrograde Nail is fracture fixation reinvented – the first and only femoral nailing system to feature micromotion fixation and ultimate rigid locking for outstanding intraoperative control. Published papers show that femoral nonunion and delayed healing are clinical challenges and micromotion may contribute positively to these clinical scenarios. The Apex Femoral Nailing System has FDA 510(k) clearance for use in the United States.

Retrograde Locking Options

Unique Axial Micromotion

Micromotion fixation creates a biomechanically optimal construct for secondary bone healing by promoting callus formation as shown by compelling clinical evidence. This innovative approach to construct biomechanics is available only in Apex nails and is achieved using a patented gliding insert system. This meticulously designed and precision-engineered construct allows controlled axial motion with industry-leading torsional stability.

Ultimate Rigid Locking

Rigid locking is designed for clinical scenarios that demand enhanced stability and construct stiffness. A unique locking endcap engages the patented insert system to simultaneously lock all proximal screws, regardless of chosen orientation, for ultimate rigidity.

Distal Interlocking

Multiplanar interlocking provides additional stability in the distal femur with simultaneous screws in oblique and mediolateral orientations to repair complex distal fractures.
