“…[23][24][25][26][27][28] After analysis of several studies, most authors stated a better control of femoral torsion as an advantage of retrograde nailing. 3,14,18,21,29,30 Tornetta and Tiburzi challenged these findings and postulated a better length and rotational control by antegrade nailing as a result of the use of fracture tables. 22 The current study provides information about the functional results, shortening, and malalignment after nailing of the common, not sufficiently studied, distal femoral fractures.…”
