Background:

Intramedullary (IM) nailing is standard for long bone fractures but often leads to malalignment in meta-diaphyseal fractures.
Poller (blocking) screws can correct malalignment but their placement is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple and intuitive technique for Poller screw placement in meta-diaphyseal fractures.
To provide guidance on Poller screw placement for displacement correction during IM nailing.

Main Methods:

The paper describes a technique for selecting Poller screw insertion points.
The technique is applicable to anteroposterior and lateral radiographic views.
It is designed to be independent of the specific fracture type.

Main Results:

The proposed technique simplifies the selection of Poller screw placement locations.
It facilitates accurate screw insertion for effective displacement correction.
Improved alignment in meta-diaphyseal fractures is anticipated.

Conclusions:

This technique offers a clear and easy method for Poller screw placement.
It addresses the complexities associated with achieving optimal alignment in meta-diaphyseal fractures treated with IM nailing.
