1Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
Abstract:
A 51-year-old man with a femoral shaft fracture previously treated by open intramedullary rod fixation developed a symptomatic distal migration of the rod. A technique for arthroscopic removal of the femoral rod is described. This report highlights the expanding role of arthroscopy in the treatment of orthopaedic disorders.
