    Author: Hussain M, Kakazu R, Jimenez A, Wyrick J.
    Journal: JBJS Case Connect; 2020; 10(1):e0388. PubMed ID: 32224683.
    Abstract:
    CASE: A case of a distal third femoral shaft fracture treated with retrograde nailing complicated by proximal cortical breach is presented. The proximal fracture was detected intraoperatively and treated with plating. CONCLUSION: Although rare, clinicians should be cognizant of the risk for proximal femur fractures secondary to retrograde femoral nailing in elderly patients.
