Biomechanical comparison of humeral nails with different distal locking mechanisms: Insafelock nails versus conventional locking nails.

CONCLUSION: These results provide a biomechanical demonstration of the adequate stability of both nails after axial and rotational loading. The reliability of the newly developed InSafeLOCK humeral nail system, which does not require fluoroscopic control and an additional incision for distal locking, supports its use in the clinic.
