Traditional technique for removing a bent intramedullary interlocking femur nail with minimal soft tissue and bone handling

Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3

Abstract

Limb ischemia following vascular compression secondary to implant impingement is a rare scenario. Generally it is seen in neglected cases where early management has not been done. We present a case of distal lower limb ischemia, which occurred chronically due to impingement by a broken implant on superficial femoral artery. The management of this complicated case has been described in the present case report.
