Anterograde removal of broken femoral nails without opening the nonunion site: a new technique

Anterograde removal of broken femoral nails without opening the nonunion site: a new technique

OBJECTIVE: We describe a new technique for removing the distal fragments of broken intramedullary femoral nails without disturbing the nonunion site. METHODS: This technique involves the application of an AO distractor prior to the removal of the nail fragments, with subsequent removal of the proxim...
