The inherent anteversion of a second-generation nail can be used to minimize malrotation of the femur after comminuted fractures during locked IM nailing in patients with normal anteversion.

Retrograde IM nailing is his preferred option because ... by Renee Blisard Buddle Distal femoral fractures occurring around total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants are increasing in relation ...

“The release of the OIC IM Nail line has been incredibly timely for our customers as they move to value-based clinical delivery systems. The OIC Femur Nail broadens the spectrum of fractures ...

It is better to allow healing of the soft tissues and later, within a few days, to insert the nail. It can be used in femoral shortening or for correction of rotation or angulation deformity.

Lengthening over an IM nail will obligatorily lengthen the anatomic axis of the femur, and if significant femoral lengthening is planned, it will medialize the mechanical axis.
