Diagram of SCAB (a Top view, b End view, c Oblique view) The design concept of the self-lock compression anti-rotation blade was partly based on the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA). The helical blade and the connective bolt are the same as those in PFNA. In addition, we designed a sleeve part with denti-stripe for self-locking as well as compression and added two longitudinal straight tail fins arranged in a “V”-shape for anti-rotation. The SCAB is cannulated so it can be guided by a Kirschner wire
