Os pontos de entrada correspondentes à escolha do tipo de haste foram respondidos por 370 médicos ortopedistas que participaram do 41º Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia e Traumatologia. Constatou-se que somente 20 por cento acertaram o ponto de entrada e que não houve diferença entre os profissionais que faziam a especialidade Traumatologia e os demais.CONCLUSÃO:
