The Brooker-Wills interlocking nail in the treatment of femoral fractures.
Interlocking nails have expanded the indication for intramedullary fixation to almost any type of fracture of the shaft of the femur. Distal locking with the Brooker-Wills femoral nail is obtained by a wing fixator. This simplifies the operative technique and diminishes exposure to radiation. Adequate control of angulation, shortening and rotation could be achieved in a first series of 25 patients, thus leading to firm bone healing and to early functional recovery.
