| description | Case: This is a case report of a 23-year-old male who sustained right femur fracture. He presented to us with nonunion shaft of femur with intramedullary locking nail broken at second last locking hole. The patient has been operated wherein the broken nail has been removed with the help of a stainless-steel (SS) wire. Conclusion: Removal of broken intramedullary nail is often a challenging task. Many techniques have been described. We herein described a step-by-step approach of how to remove the retained fragment without opening the fracture site with the help of a SS wire, indigenously available. |
