Abstract EN
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.
