Open Inter Locked Nailing Without Targeting Device or X-Ray Guide in Revision Surgery for Non-Union of the Femur: A Case Report

We present a patient with non-union of the femur and fracture of the nail after kuntscher nailing who went on to have union after interlocked nailing with a modified kuntscher nail (k-nail). the interlocked intramedullary nailing was done without x-ray guide or targeting device. the essence of this report is to highlight the possibilities inherent in modification of devices and established procedures. the early result calls for a closer look at this cheap, safe and effective means of handling femoral non-union in third world societies where instrumentation and implants for interlocked nailing may not be readily available.
