PFN Nail - Proximal Femoral Nail
PFN Nail - Proximal Femoral Nail
Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) is an intramedullary fixation system specifically designed for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures, including intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and femoral neck fractures. It is widely used due to its biomechanical superiority, minimally invasive technique, and ability to promote early mobilization.
The PFN system offers excellent rotational and axial stability, especially in osteoporotic bone, making it an ideal solution for elderly and high-risk patients. Its intramedullary location provides a load-sharing mechanism, reducing the risk of implant failure and ensuring optimal healing conditions.
