Use of Inherent Anteversion of an Intramedullary Nail to Avoid Malrotation in Comminuted Femur Fractures: A Prospective Case– Control Study

Conclusions: The inherent anteversion of a second generation nail can be used to minimize malrotation of the femur after comminuted fractures during locked intramedullary nailing in patients with normal anteversion and is superior to our present fluoroscopic technique. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
