Similar to the above response, this is a common question which has never presented a problem. Often, if someone feels the patient is too small for the two telescoping neck screws, the reduction is not in the recommended 135 degree Neck Shaft Angle (NSA). Increase or Decrease traction to bring the NSA to 135 degrees for a better biomechanical environment for sliding and optimal bone healing.
