Abstract
ABSTRACT: We report a method for removing the distal segment of a broken locked intramedullary nail secondary to nonunion of the femur following radiotherapy for fibromatosis. A Kirschner wire with one tip fashioned into a hook was used to remove the distal segment without opening with the nonunion site. Details of the procedure are described. KEY WORDS: Broken intramedullary nail, removal of distal segment.Entities:
