ABSTRACT
Femur fractures reduction can be technically challenging due to the deforming forces exerted by the muscles causing displacement of the fracture fragments. Cerclage wiring is one of the reduction techniques frequently performed, allowing anatomical reduction of the fragments and a more stable fixation when an accurate closed reduction is not possible. We describe a modified cerclage wiring through a minimally invasive technique, using a conventional cannulated C-shaped passer.
