Key result
Closed antegrade intramedullary nailing of delayed femoral shaft fractures on a radiolucent table without a fracture table was feasible, achieving an 81% success rate for closed reduction.

Offers a potential option for delayed femoral shaft fractures without fracture tables; leaves open need for randomized trials on outcomes and safety.
Pasion et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Closed femoral shaft fracture (n=96). Closed antegrade intramedullary nailing on a radiolucent table vs. X-ray vs Image intensifier was evaluated on Successful closed reduction. Closed antegrade intramedullary nailing of delayed femoral shaft fractures on a radiolucent table without a fracture table was feasible, achieving an 81% success rate for closed reduction.
