Background And Aimsbackground: Currently there is limited knowledge on cancer and COVID-19; we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of cancer on serious events including ICU admission rate and mortality in COVID 19.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials were searched on April 16, 2020, to extract published articles that reported the outcomes of cancer in COVID-19 patients. The search terms were "coronavirus" and "clinical characteristics" with no language or time restrictions.

Case: A 45-year old man presented with a right open tibial fracture with a prominent, fixed deformity because of a retained right tibial intramedullary nail from a previous tibial fracture. After multiple futile intraoperative attempts to extract the bent nail, it was finally sectioned using an industrial drill bit that permitted its removal and revision tibial nailing.

Conclusions: A tibial fracture resulting in a retained, bent nail presents unique challenges for nail extraction and subsequent exchange nailing.
