Bent and Incarcerated Vnail in A Distal 1/3rd Tibia and Fibula Fracture: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Intramedullary nailing is the gold standard technique for treatment of tibial shaft fractures. Bending of a nail secondary to high velocity trauma is a complication, encountered in healed or unhealed tibial shaft fractures. Removal of such a nail is always a challenge as the bent nail needs to be removed because it might take the shape of the nail; which is likely to become weaker and weaker as a result of the angulation and may break in future. Removal should be done as early as possible. We report this case of bent nail removal in a 47-year-old man, admitted in our hospital who sustained a fracture of the left distal 1/3rd tibia and fibula with V nail in situ due to a roadside accident.
