Abstract:
Removing a bent femoral intramedullary nail is challenging and usually requires special equipment to weaken or transect the nail. We have developed a novel technique with simple devices including one dynamic compression plate and two bone-holding forceps to straighten a bent nail. The results showed that one can use this method for bent nail removal effectively and easily.
