A novel technique to remove a broken tibiotalocalcaneal intramedullary nail using Moreland hip revision instrumentation.
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England 2019 March 12
Hindfoot intramedullary devices are increasingly used in tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis after failed total ankle arthroplasty or as a salvage procedure after complex trauma. Nail breakage is a well-described complication and numerous techniques for removal of broken parts can be found in the literature, especially for femoral and tibial nails. There is a relative paucity regarding techniques solving the challenge of removing a broken hindfoot intramedullary nail. We describe a novel technique using a curved thin hook from the Moreland hip revision set to remove the distal part of a broken tibiotalocalcaneal intramedullary nail.
