Femoral Shaft Refracture: Antegrade Cephalomedullary Nail

Study Femoral Shaft Refracture: Antegrade Cephalomedullary Nail through an immersive first-person surgical case from the Bone Reconstruction channel on Surgie. The module focuses on management of femoral shaft refractures, including in patients with bone fragility, fixation technique with an antegrade cephalomedullary intramedullary nail, and minimally invasive approach without a traction table, allowing 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.
