Femur Retrograde Nail: Surgical Treatment For Complex Femur Fractures

The Femur Retrograde Nail technique is a surgical treatment for complex femur fractures, providing stability and alignment. It involves inserting a nail into the medullary canal from the distal towards the proximal end of the bone, using interlocking screws to secure the nail in place. Femur Retrograde Nails differ from antegrade nails, which are inserted from the proximal end. This technique offers advantages in treating fractures with distal comminution or involvement of the proximal femur, but also requires careful consideration of potential complications during reaming and nail insertion.
