Outcome Analysis of Intramedullary Nailing Augmented with Poller Screws for Treating Difficult Reduction Fractures of Femur and Tibia: a Retrospective Cohort Study

Figure 1

Illustrations showing the best location placement of the poller screw on the coronal plane. The Poller nail should be placed perpendicular to the deformity plane on the short fracture segment and short cortex close to the intramedullary nail. The short fracture segment and short cortex in proximal tibia fracture (a), distal tibia fracture (b), proximal femur fracture (c), and distal femur fracture (d) are shown.
