Initial construct stability of long cephalomedullary nails with superior locking for a complex trochanteric fracture model AO31A2.2– a biomechanical study
There was a detectable difference in the axial fracture movement resulting in narrowing of the fracture gap. There was no difference in varus collapse or rotational deformity between the nail variants CONCLUSION: We conclude that there are small differences which are clinically insignificant and that a superior locking nail can safely be used to manage complex trochanteric fractures.
