Features and Benefits Blocking Screw Technique (optional) Blocking Screw Placed to Prevent Nail passage Fig. 48 Fig. 49 Fig. 50 The nail often sits against the posterior cortex which causes anterior angulation of the fracture because the shaft position is fixed by the nail (Fig. 48). The principle of the use of a Blocking Screw is to prevent posterior nail passage by decreasing the effective diameter of the canal and directing the nail more anterior as shown (Fig. 49). Using the superolateral entry point and with the Blocking Screw in place, the nail accurately aligns the shaft (fracture) (Fig. 50) (6, 7, 8) Blocking Screw Cross Locking Screws Blocking Screw 10° Herzog Bend Fig. 51a Fig. 51b Fig. 51c For Varus/ Valgus Adjustment One of the advantages of the very proximal bend in the nail, is its’ usefulness in correcting varus/valgus angulation. Do not lock the nail distally until after angular correction. Place the Blocking Screw at the level of the Proximal (Herzog) Bend (Fig. 51a). In cases where a Blocking Screw is used, simple rotation of the nail (Fig. 51b) will allow the Herzog Bend to correct the angulation (Fig. 51c). 23 Note: As an option, or in an exchange/ revision nailing with a more distal entry portal, this principal can also be applied with a Lateral Blocking Screw placed a/P as an alternative method to help prevent Varus/Valgus deformity.
