Miss-A-Nail Technique for Neck of Femur Fracture – A Case Report
Femur shaft fractures are common fractures that orthopaedic surgeons come across. Such fractures frequently associate with high energy trauma (ex: Motor vehicle accident, fall from height) in young patients or a trivial fall in elderly patients. IMIL nailing is the most frequently used moda...

| description | Femur shaft fractures are common fractures that orthopaedic surgeons come across. Such fractures frequently associate with high energy trauma (ex: Motor vehicle accident, fall from height) in young patients or a trivial fall in elderly patients. IMIL nailing is the most frequently used modality of management for shaft of femur fractures. Early definitive treatment within 24-48 hours in stable patients reduces the risk of mortality and morbidity. Fracture of femoral neck is an unusual complication while performing IMIL shaft fracture. We present a case of iatrogenic fracture neck of femur while performing IMIL for fracture shaft of femur and the technique of fixation used for the same intra-operatively. Keywords: Miss-A-Nail, Femoral neck, Fracture, Iatrogenic, Intramedullary, Nailing. |
