Interlocking nailing without imaging: the challenges of locating distal slots and how to overcome them in SIGN intramedullary nailing
International Orthopaedics, 10/13/09
Ogunlusi JD et al. – The authors concluded that SIGN nailing could be challenging and frustrating at the early learning stage. Application of the two innovative methods will make distal slot location easier. They will also make SIGN interlocking nailing less difficult for young SIGN surgeons as they journey through the learning curves.

This artice was a product of challenges we faced while inserting the distal screws in SIGN intramedullary nailing. The application of these methods have been quite helpful in SIGN IM nailing and we hope it will benefit other surgeons worldwide. |
