The Smith & Nephew Richards Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail 14 mm × 48 cm (BX/1) is a professional‑grade intramedullary implant engineered for robust femoral fracture stabilization in adults. With its substantial 14 mm shaft diameter and extended 48 cm length, this nail delivers superior axial load sharing and mechanical integrity across a wide range of femoral fracture patterns — from mid‑shaft breaks to long‑segment and subtrochanteric injuries. Designed with a cannulated profile, it supports guidewire‑assisted insertion techniques that help minimize soft‑tissue trauma and optimize alignment during interlocking nailing procedures.

Built to meet the demanding requirements of orthopedic trauma surgery, the Russell‑Taylor femoral locking nail incorporates proximal and distal interlocking options that accept locking screws to reinforce axial, rotational, and length stability throughout the fracture healing process. This secure interlocking configuration enhances control over bone fragment positioning and helps reduce the risk of rotation or shortening — critical factors for restoring normal limb biomechanics and supporting functional recovery.

Ideal for orthopedic trauma centers, surgical teams, and hospital specialty clinics, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Femoral Locking Nail combines trusted implant design with dependable clinical performance. Supplied sterile in a single‑use box (BX/1) and compatible with standard locking screw systems and instrumentation, this nail provides clinicians with the durability, precision, and versatility needed to manage complex femoral fractures with confidence and efficiency.
