Distal Femoral Interlocking Screw Length Can be Estimated Using "Anatomic Zones" During Femoral Intramedullary Nailing. [PDF]

Orthop Surg
This prospective study was conducted to investigate whether distal femur interlocking screws during intramedullary nailing can be estimated based on their location within standard “anatomic zones”. The study findings suggest using these “anatomic zones” can help surgeons estimate interlocking screw lengths, which may aid in selecting appropriate length
