DEPUY SYNTHES NAILS ARE DESIGNED WITH A 1.0M ROC TO BETTER FIT PATIENT ANATOMY This optimized fit was determined by three anatomical studies which: 1. Characterized the native femoral anatomy 2. Validated the resulting fit of the nails in the distal femur COMPLICATIONS FROM NON- FEMORAL ANATOMY ANATOMIC FEMORAL NAIL FIT CHARACTERIZATION NAIL FIT VALIDATION: TFNA SYSTEM AND FEMORAL RECON NAIL Despite decreases in nail radius of curvature (ROC) over the last decades, recent studies still report the existence of misfit between the curve of the natural femoral anatomy of some patients and the...
