The Trochanteric Long Nail system is additionally indicated to treat pertrochanteric fractures associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures in osteoporotic bone of the trochanteric and diaphyseal areas, long subtrochanteric fractures, ipsilateral femoral fractures, proximal or distal non-unions and malunions and revision procedures. ## Device Story Long Trochanteric Nail System; intramedullary fixation device for femur fractures. Components include intramedullary nail, lag screw, end cap, and optional anti-rotation screw. Manufactured from Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI). Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings to stabilize femoral fractures. Device provides mechanical support to bone segments to facilitate healing. Substantially equivalent to existing intramedullary nail systems. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material comparison to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Intramedullary fixation rod; material: Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI); components: nail, lag screw, end cap, anti-rotation screw. Mechanical device; no software or energy source. ## Regulatory Identification An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures. ## Predicate Devices - ACE Trochanteric Nail ([K010780](/device/K010780.md)) - ACE AIM Femoral Nail ([K871539](/device/K871539.md)) - Synthes Proximal Femoral Nail ([K973240](/device/K973240.md)) - Smith & Nephew TriGen Nail ([K981529](/device/K981529.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
