Article Synopsis
- A case study discusses a rare occurrence of a bent intramedullary nail in a 40-year-old man due to secondary trauma after a previously stabilized femoral fracture.
- The management involved a lateral longitudinal femoral osteotomy to remove the distorted nail, followed by reconstruction with a new nail and stabilization using a plate and cerclage wires.
- After five months, the patient showed significant recovery with callus formation and improved mobility, walking with just a single cane.
