Abstract
Revision is required for broken intramedullary nails. Removal of the broken nail especially the distal fragment is technically difficult and time-consuming to make revision. The patient had a subtrochanteric femur and tibia fracture in a traffic accident five years ago. He was treated with inramedullary nail. He is 61 years old. He has broken the nail in subtrochanteric region after a fall. Broken parts have been removed by conventional intramedullary nail application kit and fracture is nailed again using a larger reamer. We can easily and economically remove broken parts of the nail with this method without the need an extra special set and an osteotomy.
