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. |
