Treatment for distal tibial fractures with intramedullary nails and blocking screws

Blocking screws helped to achieve better reduction and alignment with intramedullary nailing of distal tibial fractures by decreasing the effective diameter of the medullary canal. The use of blocking screws enabled to use the intramedullary nailing as an alternative while treating distal tibial fractures.  Seyhan M, Kocaoglu B, Gereli AU  A, Nalbantoglu U, Turkmen M.
