## Indications for use
The AOS Antegrade and Retrograde Femoral Nail are intended for use in intramedullary fixation of fractures of the femur to include the following: open and closed femoral fractures, pseudoarthrosis and correction osteotomy, pathologic fractures, impending pathologic fractures, and tumor resections, supracondylar fractures, including those with severe comminution and intraarticular extension, ipsilateral femur fractures, bone lengthening, fractures proximal to a total knee arthroplasty or prosthesis, fractures distal to a hip joint, nonunions and malunions, fractures resulting from osteoporosis. The AOS Humeral Nail is intended to treat stable and unstable proximal fractures of the humerus including two and three, and in some cases, four part humerus fractures. The Humeral Nail is also intended to treat proximal and distal one third fractures, midshaft fractures and pathological fractures. The AOS Tibial Nail is intended to provide temporary stabilization of various types of fractures, malunions, and nonunions of the tibia. The AOS Tibial Nail System is indicated for long bone fracture fixation of tibial fractures, which may include the following: transverse, oblique, spiral, segmental and comminuted fractures; fractures with bone loss and bone transport; open and closed fractures, pathologic fractures; corrective osteotomies; pseudarthrosis of the tibial shaft; nonunions, malunions, metaphyseal and epiphyseal fractures. The AOS Trochanteric Nail is intended to treat stable and unstable proximal fractures of the femur including pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric and high subtrochanteric fractures and combinations of these fractures. The long trochanteric nail is additionally indicated for subtrochanteric fractures, pertrochanteric fractures associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures (including prophylactic use) in osteoporotic bone of the trochanteric and diaphyseal areas, long subtrochanteric fracture, ipsilateral femoral fractures, proximal and distal non-unions and malunions and revision procedures.
