The usual ROC of intramedullary nails is commonly > 1300 mm, much higher than the average ROC we identified in our population. Thus, we conclude that implants with smaller ROC in the range of 1100 mm are needed, leading to better implant placement in the canal and avoiding complications of anterior cortex impingement and preventing fracture gap widening in our setting.
