Introduction
The Phoenix™ Antegrade Femoral Nail System consists of trochanteric and piriformis fossa entry point nails that allow for either reconstructive or interlock screw applications. Each nail features patent pending CoreLock™ Technology, a preassembled, embedded locking mechanism that allows two 6.0mm self-drilling, self-tapping cannulated reconstructive screws or a 5.0mm interlock screw to be mechanically locked
to provide enhanced proximal femoral fixation.
The trochanteric nail incorporates a 6° proximal bend for ease of insertion that is offered for left and right applications in the following diameters and lengths: 9.0mm (280mm – 460mm in 20mm increments), 10.5mm, 12mm, 13.5mm and 15mm (300mm – 480mm in 20mm increments).
The proximal outer diameter of the 9.0mm, 10.5mm and 12mm nails is 12mm.
The proximal outer diameter of the 13.5mm and 15mm is 13.5mm and 15mm respectively.
Each antegrade femoral nail is composed of titanium alloy and incorporates a 1.8m radius of curvature, 9° of built-in anteversion, a 128° femoral neck angle and allows for static or dynamic distal locking.
Additionally, the system features a modular Radiolucent Targeting Arm that permits multiplanar radiographic visualization that allows for accurate reconstructive or interlock targeting. With its easy to use color-coded instrumentation conveniently contained in a single tray and its innovative implant design, the Phoenix Antegrade Femoral Nail System is designed to address both patient and surgeon needs.
Indications
The Phoenix Antegrade Femoral Nail is indicated foralignment, stabilization and fixation of fractures caused by trauma or disease and the fixation of femurs that have been surgically prepared (osteotomy) for correction of deformity.
