TFP Telegraph proximal femoral nail

The TFP product line consists of:
– short nails (L. 190mm) available in 130° and 125° versions
– long nails (L. 255mm) available in 130° and 125° versions
– neck screws (L. 80 to 120 mm)
– sterile cortical bone screws (L. 30, 35 and 40 mm)

Each component of the TFP product line is made of titanium alloy (TA6V4).

The nail has the following features:
– anatomical shape that makes it suitable for the above indications
– two lengths: 190 mm (standard) and 255 mm
– two neck-shaft angles (125°, 130°)
– a 17-mm metaphyseal diameter and 11-mm diaphyseal diameter.

The 11-mm diameter femoral neck screw is inserted through a small incision using a radiolucent carbon aiming device.

The locking screw, introduced in the proximal end of the nail, is placed in one of the 8 slots on the femoral neck screw to stop it from rotating.

The shape of the 8 slots allows for controlled backing-out of the screw that results in dynamic compression of the fracture site during weight bearing.

The TFP nail has its own instrumentation set.
