Abstract
|
|
|
|
In an atypical diaphyseal femoral fracture with marked anterior and lateral bowing, there are some obstacles in fixation of the fracture, such as difficulty in insertion of the intramedullary nail (IM nail) due to mismatch of the IM nail with the bow of the femur, iatrogenic fracture, nonunion due to angulation, and leg length discrepancy. We experienced a good result, which was achieved after fixation of the counterlateral curved IM nail; therefore, we report on this case with a review of the literature.
