We report the technique we used in extraction of a femoral intramedullary nail with impacted nail cap. The extraction was done using a damaged screw extraction device and a bone hook, with no additional bone or soft tissue damage. This technique has not been reported before in the literature. We also review the cases reported for difficult nail extractions due to impacted nail end caps.
我们报告了我们在取出带有嵌入钉帽的股骨髓内钉时所使用的技术。使用了一个损坏的螺钉取出装置和一个骨钩完成了取出操作,未造成额外的骨或软组织损伤。该技术此前在文献中未有报道。我们还回顾了因钉端帽嵌入而导致取出困难的病例报告。
