TFN-ADVANCED® Proximal Femoral Nailing System (TFNA)
The TFN-ADVANCED Proximal Femoral Nailing System (TFNA) is designed to solve a wide range of unmet needs for surgeons, OR staff, and administrators.
More than five years in the making, this system offers advancement in hip fracture treatment. It incorporates the best elements of our highly successful global hip nails (TFN, PFNA, and PFNA II), built with the input from hundreds of surgeons around the world. The TFNA System truly is a global platform that delivers modern innovation.

Features & Benefits
Improved Anatomical Fit Contoured Design
Improved nail shape (1.0m anatomic bow) based on multi-ethnic 3-D computational study designed to better fit patient anatomy and to help avoid impinging anterior cortex compared to nails with larger radius of curvature.1
Static Locking Option
Static locking option holds blade or screw in a fixed position to help maintain femoral neck length.
Radiolucent Insertion Handle
Radiolucent insertion handle with radiographic indicators improves x-ray visualization and assists with guide wire placement.
QUICK CLICK® Self-Retaining Technology
QUICK CLICK® Self-Retaining Technology designed for easy attachment of nail to insertion handle.
Rotational Locking
Allows for sliding of blade or screw head element and utilises the Flexible Screwdriver.
Static Locking
Provides a fixed construct with no head element movement and utilises Hex Screwdriver with Torque Limiting Attachment.
Choice of Head Elements
Choice of both TFNA Helical Blade or TFNA Screw to suit a wide variety of clinical needs, which supports surgical preferences and helps facilitate hospital standardisation.
Percutaneous Set
Optional percutaneous set with large instruments including protection sleeve and insertion handle.
Distal Locking Options
Long nail provides three distal locking options, including a oblique distal hole that is offset an additional 10° to target bone in condyles.
Wide Selection of Nails
Wide selection of nail lengths and diameters covers broad array of patient anatomy.
