Abstract
Fracture reduction devices for closed nailing of the femur have been d escribed as an alternative to manual manipulation. They have consisted of various clamps and supports. These external methods can be difficu lt to use. We have used a Steinman pin on a T-clamp inserted percutane ously on to bone to gain a temporary reduction during intramedullary n ailing.
