## Abstract The goals of this study were to develop a new intramedullary, rotation‐stable locking device and evaluate it biomechanically and in vivo for maintenance of a critical size osteotomy gap in a model of conscious pseudarthrosis. In standardized osteotomized rat femora (5 mm osteotomy gap)
Conventional interlocking nails for the femur use an inclined proximal interlocking screw; the AO/ ASIF universal interlocking nail utilizes a transverse interlocking screw which is anchored in cortical bone. The transverse position of the screw allows one to employ the nail for either the right or
