TFN – Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail System
Technique Guide
The Synthes Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System
permits an intramedullary approach for the fixation of frac-
tures of the femur. The TFN System consists of a series of
cannulated nails, cannulated helical blades, cannulated
femoral neck screws, cannulated end caps, and locking bolts
and screws. All of the implants in the TFN System are made
of titanium alloy.*
The helical blade provides improved resistance to varus col-
lapse and rotational control of the medial fracture segment
compared to single screw fixation (i.e., lag screws). The result
is superior life-to-cut-out versus single screw fixation. This is
accomplished through the use of the 11.0 mm helical blade.
In addition, the use of the 11.0 mm helical blade results in
reduced bone removal versus use of a traditional hip screw.
These helical blade features are especially advantageous in
osteoporotic fracture fixation. However the TFN system also
offers a lag screw fixation using an 11.0 mm femoral neck
screw.
