The End Cap is a precision-machined orthopedic implant designed to be inserted into the proximal or distal end of an intramedullary (IM) nail. Made from biocompatible stainless steel or titanium alloy, the end cap serves multiple important functions in locking nail systems. It typically features a threaded design that securely screws into the nail’s end, forming a flush and stable interface.

Available in various lengths and thread sizes, the end cap may be standard, extended, or offset, depending on the type of nail (femoral, tibial, humeral) and the anatomical or surgical requirement. The component is often color-coded or marked for easy identification and compatibility with specific nail systems.
