Abstract

Purpose Inter-fragmentary rotational and axial instabilities are major challenges in nailing of complex or comminuted fractures. We aimed to compare the inter-fragmentary rotational and axial stability of novel anti-rotation interlocking nail and the conventional interlocking nail in complex or comminuted femur shaft fractures.
