Abstract EN
Orthopedic implant used for fracture fixation, no matter how strong, is bound to fail if the fracture does not unite.
Broken implants usually do not cause major damage but the surgeons have to improvise to remove them.
We report a case of a broken intramedullary nail in non-united fracture femur which migrated out and caused vascular injury requiring surgical interference.
The present report highlights the importance of early surgical intervention in an osteoporotic non-united fracture.
