Abstract

Retrograde nailing represents a reliable fixation method for extra-articular (33 - A1-3) and simple intra-articular (33 - C1-2) fractures of the supracondylar area. In femoral shaft fractures retrograde inserted nails offer a valuable alternative, especially when the proximal femoral approach is obstructed.
