Figure 1 (A) The distal supportive bold locking screw (DSBLS), set screw, and set screw hole are shown. The distal end of the intramedullary nail has a unique design that allows contact with the DSBLS. (B) After the engagement, the design enables strong fixing of the nail within the DSBLS using a set screw. Figure 1 was taken with a smartphone and transferred to the computer. The background color was adjusted using Photoshop CC 2019.
