Özet

Introduction: Efforts to prevent iatrogenic neurovascular injuries with humeral intramedullary nailing lead to design new implants and inside to out distal locking technique using an endopin aims to provide a safer screw application. InSafeLock (TST, Istanbul, Turkey) humeral nail have been recently developed to minimize the possible screw related complications. The anatomical relationship between locking screws and neurovascular structures with the application time were compared between Trigen Humeral Nail (Smith and Nephew, Memphis, USA) and InSafeLock Humeral Nail.
