 Abstract
 PDF
- Femur intramedullary nailing can be one of the most predictable procedures in orthopedic traumatology. The advantage of this method is that the fracture site does not have to be widely exposed for reduction, which can minimize soft tissue damage. For this reason, the incidence of complications related to hematoma has been rare. We experienced only one case of sciatic nerve palsy due to hematoma after intramedullary nailing; the patient was receiving an anticoagulant therapy. Therefore, we report this case with literature review.
