ABSTRACT
CASE A 17-year-old adolescent boy presented 2 months after initial intramedullary nail (IMN) fixation of a comminuted subtrochanteric fracture with refracture at the previous site and approximately 20° varus angulation of the nail. The bent femoral nail was successfully extracted using an open technique using Lohman bone-holding clamps and a broad plate. At the 1-year follow-up, fracture union was achieved. CONCLUSIONS:
Removal of a deformed IMN is rare. No standardized protocol exists in guiding orthopaedic surgeons. A thorough review of techniques is discussed on this unusual complication.
