The Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for the surgical treatment of fractures in the upper femur, particularly in trauma patients. Commonly used in cases of intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric, and complex femoral fractures, it provides robust internal fixation to facilitate bone healing and restore mobility.
Key Features:

• Constructed from biocompatible materials such as stainless steel or titanium, the PFN features a nail inserted into the femoral medullary canal, accompanied by locking screws for secure stabilization. Its minimally invasive design reduces surgical trauma, blood loss, and recovery time compared to traditional plating techniques.
