ANDES -Femur Nailing System

ANDES Femur Nailing System is best suited to fractures in the diaphyseal region, but where necessary, can be used for fractures situated in the region extending from just below the intact lesser trochanter to just above the supracondylar region. The procedure is applicable to any fracture within these boundaries, whatever the degree of comminution. ANDES is a set of intramedullary nails which offers several advantages over existing systems. A major advantage of the system is the ability to insert both proximal and distal locking screws accurately and quickly without the use of X-rays, using an external mechanical targeting device.
