What is a TNF nail used for?
The Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) is intended to treat stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof.
What is the long TFN used to treat?
The Long TFN is additionally indicated for subtrochanteric fractures, pertrochanteric fractures associ- ated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures of osteo- porotic bone (including prophylactic use) in both trochanteric and diaphyseal regions, long subtrochanteric fractures, proxi- mal or distal nonunions, malunions, and revisions. Indications
What is the TFN for femur fracture fixation?
The TFN permits an intramedullary approach for fixation of proximal femur fractures. Instructions for use are found in the information that accompanied the product packaging.
What is the TFN-advanced proximal femoral nailing system?
The TFN-ADVANCED Proximal Femoral Nailing System (TFNA) is designed to advance hip fracture treatment with: The TFNA System is designed to solve a wide range of unmet needs for surgeons, OR staff, and administrators.
What is a TFN hip?
Background: The Trochanteric femoral nail (TFN) is a recently introduced intramedullary system, designed to improve treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the hip. In a clinical study, the intra- operative use, complications and outcome of treatment using the TFN.
What is TFNA?
The Trochanteric Fixation Nail - Advanced (TFNA) can be used to treat stable or unstable pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures or a combination of pertrochanteric and intertrochanteric fractures.
How is the TFNA nail inserted surgically implemented?
TFNA short (170 mm, 200 mm and 235 mm) Manually insert the nail into the femoral opening. When using a reaming rod, pass the cannulated nail over the reaming rod and into the femoral opening. Under image intensification, verify fracture reduction and insert the nail as far as possible by hand.
What is the purpose of the Small 15.66 mm proximal diameter of the TFNA nail?
Small proximal diameter (15.66mm) and LATERAL RELIEF CUT™ Design help to preserve bone in insertion area due to reduced critical width.
Is TFNA a nail intramedullary?
Background: The TFNA (Trochanteric Fixation Nail Advanced) Proximal Femoral Nailing System (DePuy Synthes) is frequently used for intramedullary fixation of proximal femoral fractures.
What does Pfna stand for?
Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA)
What is a TFN surgery?
The Synthes Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) is intended to treat stable and unstable pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof.
What is the proximal diameter of TFNA?
15.66 mmThe proximal diameter of the TFNA Nail was reduced from its prior generation TFN Nail (17 mm) to 15.66 mm to address clinical needs while being comparable to other nails on the market (Figure 1).
How do I create a TFNA?
TFNA short (170 mm, 200 mm and 235 mm) Manually insert the nail into the femoral opening. When using a reaming rod, pass the cannulated nail over the reaming rod and into the femoral opening. Under image intensification, verify fracture reduction and insert the nail as far as possible by hand.
What is a TFN surgery?
The Synthes Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) is intended to treat stable and unstable pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof.
What is intramedullary nailing?
An intramedullary nail is a metal rod that is inserted into the medullary cavity of a bone and across the fracture in order to provide a solid support for the fractured bone. Intramedullary nailing is currently considered the "gold standard" for treatment of femoral shaft fractures (Rudloff 2009).
