More than 1,000,000 Grosse & Kempf locking nails have been surgically implanted since introduced in 1974.

A development of the original intramedullary principles presented by Professor Gerhard Küntscher in 1940, the Grosse & Kempf system provides the established intramedullary advantages of closed operating technique and undisturbed callus formation with the additional security of fixation offered by proximal and distal locking.
