- Angle stable interlocking screws improve construct stability of intramedullary nailing of distal tibia fractures: A biomechanical studyInjuryVol. 40Issue 7
- PreviewIntramedullary nailing is the treatment of choice for most displaced tibial shaft fractures. The ability to maintain a mechanically stable fixation becomes more difficult the further the fracture extends distally or proximally or when unreamed tibial nails are used. We assumed that a new angular stable locking option would provide improved stability and reduced interfragmentary movements in a distal tibia in vitro fracture model.
