Ostrum RF et al. – Retrograde femoral nailing is a widely used treatment for fractures involving the distal third of the femur. Angular malunion of these fractures after retrograde intramedullary nailing is a known complication. The authors report their surgical technique and experience using blocking screws to aid in reduction and augment the stability of the fixation when using a retrograde intramedullary nail for distal femoral fractures.
