Distal locking mechanism influences surgical and radiological outcomes in proximal femoral nailing using distal wedge versus distal screw designs

Distal locking mechanism influences surgical and radiological outcomes in proximal femoral nailing using distal wedge versus distal screw designs

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the radiological outcomes of two proximal femoral nails that share similar proximal geometry and sizes, but differ in their distal locking mechanisms. This retrospective study included 244 patients with AO 31-A1/A3 intertrochanteric fractures treated with either...
