A trapezoidal shape provides a press-fit in the metaphyseal region to position more material on the lateral side of the nail where tensile/stretching forces tend to be greatest.2
Integrated Compression Screws generate push/pull forces that are designed to hold compression after instrument removal and eliminate the Z-effect, with a worm gear mechanism converting rotation to active compression while stabilizing the medial fragment.*p=0.01. Initial rotational stability of the femoral head; compared to a single-screw device; cadaveric study simulating heel strike.
