Abstract
Bending of a Kuntscher nail which had been used in the treatment of a prior femoral diaphyseal fracture was encountered in a 37-year-old male patient who was admitted to hospital for a deformity in his left thigh caused in a car accident. The nail was extracted and osteosynthesis was performed via an intramedullary locked nail. Union was obtained in the fourth postoperative month without any complications.
