Intertan Nailing System: An Overview With Key Features

Breaking the femur—the body’s strongest bone—is a life-changing injury, especially near the hip. The Intertan Nailing System offers a dependable solution for stabilizing such fractures. Unlike older implants, this system uses two interlocking screws—a lag screw and a compression screw—that work together to provide excellent rotational stability and promote bone healing through controlled compression. This dual-screw design prevents issues like the “Z-effect,” ensuring the screws stay securely in place. Available in short and long versions, the Intertan allows surgeons to tailor treatment to each fracture type. For patients, the result is early mobility, faster recovery, and reduced complications such as muscle loss or blood clots. Surgeons appreciate its reliable fixation, anatomical fit, and reduced risk of hardware failure. In short, the Intertan Nail combines precision, stability, and versatility—helping patients regain mobility and confidence after serious hip and femoral fractures.
