Content
Referring now to FIG. 3A, the intramedullary nail 100 or intramedullary nail system 200 facilitates retrograde deployment of an IMDF for patients who already have an arthroplasty implant. Suppose a patient has suffered a fracture 340 near the distal metaphysis of the femur 102. Patients who have received an implant in an arthroplasty procedure may have a greater risk of periprosthetic fractures (e.g., fracture 340).
