Abstract
We describe a new technique for the removal of the distal part of a broken intramedullary interlockingfemoral nail. The distal part of the nail is pushed outward with the help of a antegradely driven newnail. This method is simple, less time consuming and requires only a Kuntscher’s nail and a guidewirewhich are easily available in the operating rooms.
