Abstract:
The simple technique to maintain the engagement of the screw and the screw driver during percutaneous locking screw insertion is presented. The method can capture the screw when the screw becomes disengaged. This will be helpful when percutaneous screw insertion is performed in the narrow and deep location of the bone such as a locking screw at the upper part of the femur during retrograde femoral nailing.
