The Supracondylar Femur Nail is a specialized intramedullary implant designed for the fixation of distal femoral fractures, particularly in the supracondylar region, just above the knee joint. It is typically inserted retrograde through the intercondylar notch of the femur and passed proximally into the medullary canal. This approach allows for stable, load-sharing fixation while preserving the soft tissue envelope around the distal femur.

The nail is made from biocompatible materials such as titanium or stainless steel, and is available in various lengths and diameters to suit a range of patient anatomies. It features multiple distal locking holes in different planes to secure small or comminuted distal fragments, providing both rotational control and axial stability. Proximal locking options are also included to prevent nail migration and maintain alignment during healing.

This nail is particularly useful in cases where plating may not be ideal, such as in osteoporotic bone, open fractures, or polytrauma.
