Intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for diaphyseal femur fractures. Malrotation is a well-recognized complication of femoral nailing. Various techniques including the cortical step sign (CSS) have been described to minimize iatrogenic rotational deformity during femoral nailing. We present a case in which the use of the CSS resulted in a clinically significant malrotation requiring revision.

Circular External Fixator

Intramedullary nailing is the method of choice for the treatment of most femoral shaft fractures. However, it is not always an easy procedure with predictable results as leg length discrepancy as well as rotational and angular malunion may occur. Lengthening over an intramedullary nail (IMN) has become very common as it allows early removal of the external fixator. This report presents a case of an open femoral shaft fracture initially treated with an IMN and subsequently complicated by a septic nonunion. Union was obtained by bifocal bone transport with a circular external fixator over the preexisting nail without exchange or removal of the previously inserted IMN. In conclusion, the presence of an IMN supports osteotomy and regenerates bone during bone healing, prevents fracture and/or deformation of the regenerated bone, and reduces the time needed for the external fixator.
