  • Title: A simplified technique of distal femoral screw insertion for the Grosse-Kempf interlocking nail.
    Author: MacMillan M, Gross RH.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1988 Jan; (226):252-9. PubMed ID: 3335100.
    Abstract:
    Failure accurately to determine distal femoral screw hole position can sometimes prolong operating time for placing an interlocking Grosse-Kempf rod. The described technique allows the distal femoral screw holes to be localized accurately with minimal radiation exposure. This technique utilizes readily available instruments and is not technically demanding.
