The Smith & Nephew Richards 122199 Russell‑Taylor Tibial Locking Nail 13 mm × 31.5 cm (BX/1) is a high‑performance orthopedic implant engineered for reliable intramedullary stabilization of tibial shaft fractures. With its 13 mm diameter and 31.5 cm length, this locking nail is designed to provide strong axial support and effective fracture alignment in adult trauma cases. Its cannulated design allows for guidewire‑assisted insertion, helping surgeons achieve precision placement within the medullary canal while minimizing soft‑tissue disruption — a key advantage in modern tibial fracture fixation procedures.

Built to support advanced fracture treatment protocols, the Russell‑Taylor tibial nail includes proximal and distal locking holes that accommodate interlocking screws to enhance axial, rotational, and length stability throughout the healing process. This interlocking configuration promotes controlled compression at the fracture site and helps reduce complications such as malalignment or implant migration. Surgeons can tailor fixation strategy based on fracture pattern and healing goals, making this nail a versatile solution in trauma and orthopedic surgical settings.

Ideal for hospital trauma centers, orthopedic specialty clinics, and surgical teams treating complex tibial fractures, the Smith & Nephew Russell‑Taylor Tibial Locking Nail combines durable construction with ease of use. Supplied sterile in a Box of 1 (BX/1) and compatible with standard tibial interlocking screw sets and instrumentation, this implant delivers the strength, stability, and clinical performance clinicians expect from a trusted global medical device leader — supporting optimized patient outcomes and confidence in fracture management.
