Abstract:
The use of interlocking IM nails is commonplace in major trauma centers. Currently, an accurate guide for inserting the distal screws is not available. Most centers use the "free-hand" technique. Every surgeon must be familiar with this method to insert the screws. We describe our protocol for inserting the distal screws into interlocking IM nails.
