Abstract
Malrotation complicating intramedullary nailing of the femur must be recognized before healing occurs in the early postoperative period to obtain correction with the least possible effort. A 20-year-old man with more than 40 degrees of excessive external rotation required careful evaluation and demonstrated the value of computed axial tomography (CT scan) followed by derotation.Entities:
