Özet

Objectives: We developed a new intramedullary interlocking nail (sustained dynamic compressive nail; SDCN) which can sustain a continuous dynamic compressive force on the fracture edges to overcome implant failure, screw loosening and nonunion complications encountered in the traditionally used static intramedullary nailing (SIMN).
