Abstract:
Inserting distal screws freehand is a difficult but necessary part of many intramedullary roddings. In the June 1992 issue of Orthopaedic Review, Edward Yang described an excellent protocol for performing this part of the procedure. Here, we describe more tips to make it easier and to prevent or correct problems.
