Failure Analysis of a Femoral Cephalomedullary Nail

Failure Analysis of a Femoral Cephalomedullary Nail

A fractured cephalomedullary femoral nailing system was investigated for the clinical and mechanical reasons responsible for its failure. Optical and scanning electron microscopes were utilized to investigate the fracture surface characteristics. Striations presented on the surface indicated mechani...
