Abstract
A case is presented in which a 14-mm Russell-Taylor intramedullary nail, placed to secure a right femoral shaft fracture, was deformed 22 months postoperatively by subsequent trauma. The nail was straightened in situ, removed, and replaced with a larger nail. The femur subsequently healed without complication.
