RESUMO
We report a difficult healing process after a femoral shaft fracture in childhood. We present surgical correction options of femoral shortening due to pseudarthrosis after elastic stable intramedullary nailing. First, we tried to establish distraction using an external fixator, followed by plate osteosynthesis. After material failure of plate osteosynthesis, we treated the refracture with intramedullary nailing, after which bone healing occurred.
