Apex Femoral Retrograde Nailing System

Following in the footsteps of the Apex Tibial Nailing System, the Apex Femoral Retrograde Nailing System incorporates controlled axial micromotion. Apex Femoral Nails have the potential to resolve problems of nonunions and delayed unions by promoting secondary bone healing with controlled axial micromotion and their outstanding torsional stability.

Unique Axial Micromotion

Fully Rigid Locking

achieved by insertion of locking endcap.

of up to 1 mm is facilitated by a patented gliding insert, contributing to a biomechanically optimal construct for secondary bone healing by promoting callus formation.

Anatomical Design

Micromotion Options

All screw holes facilitate micromotion.

Multiplanar Distal Interlocking

options provide additional stability in the distal femur, with simultaneous screws in oblique and mediolateral orientations to stabilize complex distal fractures.

4° Distal Bend for optimal fit.

Clinical Results

The combination of torsional stability and axial flexibility has been shown to enhance healing in fracture treated with plates and external fixators, but until now, has been elusive in intramedullary nails. Dive into the benefits of OrthoXel’s micromotion technology and how it compares to traditional nailing.
