Abstract:
Closed medullary nailing has become increasingly popular in the management of fractures of the femur because of a high rate of union, a low rate of complications, and excellent return of function. But it requires good facility and excellent surgical skill. The authors experienced two cases of iatrogenic femur neck fracture during closed medullary nailing of femur shaft fracture.
