      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The randomization of people will be done using the Permuted block randomization method with the random selection of the size of the blocks.
Block randomization works by randomizing participants within blocks such that an equal number is assigned to each treatment. For example, given a block size of 4, there are six possible ways to equally assign participants to a block. Allocation proceeds by randomly selecting one of the orderings and assigning the next block of participants to study groups according to the specified sequence. Furthermore, the block size must be divisible by the number of study groups.
A disadvantage of block randomization is that the allocation of participants may be predictable and result in selection bias when the study groups are unmasked. That is, the treatment assignment that has so far occurred least often in the block likely will be the next chosen. Selection bias may be reduced by using random block sizes and keeping the investigator blind to the size of each block, Blinding description: The blinding method in this study is double-blinded, in which the patients, the person responsible for randomization, and the person responsible for data analysis are not aware of the randomization setting of the study.
Patients, the person responsible for randomization, and the person responsible for data analysis will only be aware of each person belonging to one of the group's A and B. They will not know which of the intervention or control groups each of the two groups, A and B, represents.
Unlike the above people, the surgical team will know which of the intervention or control groups each of groups A and B belongs to.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Condition 1: Diaphysis fracture of the long bones of the lower extremities (Femoral Shaft). Condition 2: Diaphysis fracture of the long bones of the lower extremities (Tibia).</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: There are patients who will have a distal femoral or tibial concave screw implantation using surgical navigation or fluoroscopy. In this method, the navigation system is calibrated using radiographic images prepared before the operation. The navigation system is then calibrated with the patient in another step during the surgery. Distal IMN screw implantation in these patients is determined based on the location determined by the navigation system using imaging and anatomical landmarks of the patient. Intervention 2: Control group: Includes patients in whom the distal femoral or tibial IMN screw implantation will be determined using the conventional method (Conventional C-arm). In this method, for implanting the distal cone screw, an inter-operative radiograph will be taken from the bone by C-arm. Based on that, screw implantation is done. After each screw implantation, radiography of the bone will be done again by C-arm to ensure the correctness of the screw insertion. If the distal screw is not inserted correctly, this process will be repeated and will continue until the correctness of the distal screw is ensured.</i_freetext>
