"L.S. can somebody confirm this is a Smith-Petersen nail? my thanks in advance, regards, Remco"
I believe that this is a Smith-Petersen nail. James Hundley, MD
"Yes, I agree that your nail radiograph is a Smith Petersen nail. It was a tri-flanged nail with a threaded female aperture in the distal end for the driving/extraction device and later for the attachment of a side plate. I cannot recall if all versions were cannulated." John Denton, MD, Professor and Associate Dean, New York Medical College, Jamaica, NY, USA.
