Abstract

The use of cannulated screws facilitates the surgical technique when compared with conventional compression screws, allowing greater precision thanks to the help of the guide wire. Our results allowed us to demonstrate a consolidation rate of 100% and the return to previous levels of activity, without associated symptomatology. The criterion used to allow the return to activity was based on the absence of pain upon clinical examination and during the performance of functional activities such as running, even without radiographic evidence of effective consolidation.
