Abstract

Reaming is an important step in long bone nailing and has a low complication rate. We report a case of a flexible reamer that got broken and incarcerated in the femoral canal during reaming in a segmental femur fracture. Routine extraction using guide wire was not possible. The incarcerated reamer was successfully extracted with the help of a jumbo cutter.
