Population
Adults with femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nails
Comparison
Screw vs talon distal locking systems
Talon locking may improve femoral nailing outcomes; hypothesis-generating and requires larger confirmatory trials before practice change.
Objective: This study compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of screw and talon locking systems, which are distal nail locking systems, in adult femoral shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nails.
