Does the Proximal Humerus Nail with 2 Distal Screws Provide Sufficient Rotational Stability?
All 3 groups demonstrated rotational stability concerning stress distribution, indicating that using 2 screws for distal fixation does not adversely affect stability. This suggests the potential for saving surgical time and reducing radiation exposure without compromising stability.
