Instrument breakage during orthopaedic procedures is relatively uncommon, but it remains a challenging problem to orthopaedic surgeons. We report a case of a broken guidewire during intramedullary nail fixation of a proximal femur fracture with subtrochanteric extension. We also report a simple yet effective technique for removal of a broken guidewire from the medulla of the proximal femur without causing much iatrogenic trauma.
在骨科手术过程中,器械断裂相对较少见,但它仍然是骨科医生面临的一个挑战。我们报告了一例在股骨近端骨折伴转子下延伸的髓内钉固定过程中导丝断裂的病例。我们还报告了一种简单而有效的技术,可将断裂的导丝从股骨近端髓腔中取出,而不会造成太大的医源性创伤。
