X-ray showing the proximal portion of a fractured tibia with an intramedullary nail Proximal femur nail with locking and stabilisation screws for treatment of femur fractures of left thigh. An intramedullary rod, also known as an intramedullary nail (IM nail) or inter-locking nail or Küntscher nail (without proximal or distal fixation), is a ...
Telescoping IM rods are widely used, [119] and the common Fassier–Duval IM rod is designed to be used to rod the femur, tibia, and humerus. [120]: 1 The surgery involves breaking the long bones in between one and three (or more) [119]: Figure 4 places, then fixing the rod alongside the bone to keep it straight. [120]: 11
A femoral fracture is a bone fracture that involves the femur. They are typically sustained in high-impact trauma, such as car crashes , due to the large amount of force needed to break the bone. Fractures of the diaphysis , or middle of the femur, are managed differently from those at the head, neck, and trochanter ; those are conventionally ...
A hip fracture is a break that occurs in the upper part of the femur (thigh bone), at the femoral neck or (rarely) the femoral head. [2] Symptoms may include pain around the hip, particularly with movement, and shortening of the leg. [2] Usually the person cannot walk. [3] A hip fracture is usually a femoral neck fracture.
Bone malrotation refers to the situation that results when a bone heals out of rotational alignment from another bone, or part of bone. It often occurs as the result of a surgical complication after a fracture where intramedullary nailing (IMN) occurs, [1] especially in the femur and tibial bones, but can also occur genetically at birth.
Symptoms include the gradual, progressive onset of thigh or knee pain with a painful limp. Hip motion will be limited, particularly internal rotation. Running, and other strenuous activity on legs, will also cause the hips to abnormally move due to the condition and can potentially worsen the pain. Stretching is very limited.

Pathological: ≥83° in men and ≥57° in women; Femoral head-neck offset Measured in cross-lateral view. Offset of the femoral head with regard to most prominent aspect of the femora neck >10 mm Offset percentage Femoral head-neck offset related to femoral head diameter >0.18 less indicates high risk of cam type impingement; Tönnis angle
