The inherent anteversion of a second-generation nail can be used to minimize malrotation of the femur after comminuted fractures during locked IM nailing in patients with normal anteversion.

It is better to allow healing of the soft tissues and later, within a few days, to insert the nail. It can be used in femoral shortening or for correction of rotation or angulation deformity.

Michael D. McKee, MD, FRCS(C), and colleagues randomly assigned 22 patients with isolated femoral shaft fractures to undergo News News CME CME ...

Lengthening over an IM nail will obligatorily lengthen the anatomic axis of the femur, and if significant femoral lengthening is planned, it will medialize the mechanical axis.
