No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Shortening of the abductor lever arm is a particular concern with the SHS, and the resultant biomechanical alterations may impair gait, including decreased cadence, gait speed and increased double support time on the injured side.

The use of an IM nail device may reduce shortening and improve functional parameters in this patient cohort
