Femoral Shaft Fracture: Retrograde Intramedullary Nail

Study Femoral Shaft Fracture: Retrograde Intramedullary Nail through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on retrograde intramedullary nail fixation for a femoral shaft fracture, a minimally invasive procedure without a traction table, and fracture reduction and free limb manipulation.

Procedure Overview

The case is organized for structured review of surgical anatomy, procedural sequencing, instrument handling, reduction or reconstruction strategy, implant positioning, and intraoperative verification. Expert narration connects the visual field with the decisions documented during the procedure.
