Abstract
IntroductionWe aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the use of the electromagnetic distal targeting system in treating humeral shaft fracture. MethodsPatients were divided in: Group 1) patients that received a distal locking screw placement following the free-hand technique; Group 2) patients in which the distal locking screw was performed using the SURESHOT device. ResultsNo differences were noted comparing Group 1 (freehand) [71,9 range 40–135 min] to Group 2 (SURESHOT)[70, range 25–125 min]. ConclusionThe use of the EM distal targeting system doesn't reduce the overall operative time of the humeral shaft fracture fixation using IMN.
