The PFN2 (APFN) Orthopedic Implant Set is a comprehensive solution designed for the surgical management of proximal femoral fractures. Engineered for biomechanical stability and surgical efficiency, this system is the gold standard for treating pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures.

Core Components & Specifications

Our PFN2 system is crafted from high-grade Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V) or Stainless Steel 316L, ensuring biocompatibility and superior fatigue resistance.

1. APFN Nails (Short & Long)

  • Short Nail: Optimized for stable intertrochanteric fractures. It features a specific anatomical bend for easy insertion and distal locking to prevent rotation.

  • Long Nail: Designed for unstable subtrochanteric fractures or cases involving femoral shaft involvement. It provides extensive longitudinal support and stress distribution.

2. APFN Helical Blade

The Helical Blade is engineered for osteoporotic bone. Instead of cutting through bone, it compresses the cancellous bone during insertion, providing enhanced “cut-out” resistance and superior fixative strength compared to traditional screws.

3. Gamma Screw for APFN

For surgeons preferring a traditional approach, the high-torque Gamma Screw provides excellent compression across the fracture line. It works in tandem with the nail to provide a rigid internal construct.

4. 4.9 mm Inter-Locking Bolts

These precision-milled bolts provide distal fixation, preventing both rotation and shortening of the limb. The 4.9 mm diameter ensures high shear strength under weight-bearing conditions.


Precision Instrumentation Set

The system includes a dedicated, streamlined instrument tray designed to reduce “under-the-table” time.

  • Radiolucent Aiming Device: Ensures accurate distal locking under C-arm guidance.

  • Reamers & Guide Wires: Calibrated for precise canal preparation.

  • Insertion Handle & Sleeve System: Ergonomically designed for tactile feedback during nail placement.


Key Features & Clinical Benefits

  • Anatomic Design: A 6° lateral angle allows for insertion through the Tip of the Greater Trochanter.

  • Dynamic & Static Locking: Offers versatility depending on the fracture stability.

  • Minimized Soft Tissue Trauma: The low-profile proximal end reduces irritation to the gluteus medius.

  • Optimized Load Bearing: The combination of the nail and helical blade ensures earlier patient mobilization.

Indications

  • Pertrochanteric fractures.

  • Intertrochanteric fractures (Simple or Comminuted).

  • High subtrochanteric fractures.

  • Pathological fractures of the proximal femur.
