Abstract: OBJECTIVE Symptomatic distal interlocking screws in retrograde femoral nailing are common due the difficulties of imaging the trapezoidal femur. Screws appearing to have appropriate length on imaging may possibly be prominent, creating symptoms. Screw trajectory… read more here.

Abstract: Femoral shaft fractures are commonly treated with closed reduction and reamed intramedullary nailing. However, some reductions are difficult to obtain or maintain, especially in muscular or large patients. When closed methods fail to achieve reduction,… read more here.
