Abstract
A distal locking device for the solid intramedullary tibial nails has been tried on bone models. This device allows simple and accurate insertion of distal locking screws with minimum radiation exposure to the patient and the surgeons. It also reduces the operation time. The aim of this experiment was to test the accuracy of the new aiming device and to measure the radiation exposure time during the procedure.
