Abstract:Dynamization could be achieved by provision of oblong slots in the intramedullary nails called as dynamic holes, along with the circular slots. Thereafter the process of dynamization was done that included removal of the screw in the circular slot (static hole) after 6-12 weeks of surgery when the soft callus had already formed that allowed the interlocking screw in the dynamic hole to move about in the axial direction thus conferring a dynamic compression at the fracture site during weight bearing.
