摘要
The authors present a case in which an interlocked intramedullary nail placed to secure a left femoral shaft fracture was deformed twelve months: after surgery because of secondary trauma. The nail was straightened by sectioning through half of its diameter with a drill for metal under minimal soft tissue dissection, then removed and replaced with another nail. The femur subsequently healed without complications.
