Abstract

Modifications of the nail-plate junction of conventional McLaughlin implants were manufactured. An additional washer was introduced between the back of the nail and the plate extension or the contact area was extended by modifying the nail base. Mechanical testing of the strength of the two modifications was performed. It is concluded that these modifications combined with replacement of the stiff nail by a sliding nail might provide a free angle device suitable for fracture fixation in trochanteric fractures.
